Abstract

Three faculty members and an instructional designer collaborated to develop and implement first-term courses in a newly revised RN-to-bachelor of science in nursing curriculum. The ADDIE model served as the organizing framework for course development. Student assessment was approached in a novel manner, using integrated assignments that spanned each course. Students were able to demonstrate that objectives for all three courses were met, while synthesizing and applying their newly gained knowledge and skills. J Contin Educ Nurs. 2017;48(8):369-372.
