Abstract

Curriculum evaluation, including alignment of concepts, is an ongoing challenge for nurse educators. Nursing curricular frameworks encompass varied concepts, guided by professional standards. This article examines a conceptual model, the Globe Framework, for BSN generalist practice including initial development, implementation, and evaluation. Evaluation at one school, driven by new AACN Essentials in 2021, spans from 2008 to 2020, reviewing three data points: meeting minutes, master syllabi from baccalaureate coursework, and accreditation documents. Challenges included merging two nursing departments with collaboration to reach consensus. Framework strengths include local practice environment values and multiple concepts. Findings and recommendations can inform nurse educators as they consider program evaluation and upcoming accreditation standards.
