Curriculum Development in Nursing Education

Carroll L. Iwasiw, Mary-Anne Andrusyszyn, and Dolly Goldenberg

Curriculum Development in Nursing Education, Fourth Edition provides nursing students with the theory and practical ideas necessary to develop an evidence-based, context-relevant, unified curriculum.


Empirical Nursing : The Art of Evidence-Based Care

Bernie Garrett

This book seeks to provide students and practicing nurses with the tools to better understand and engage in scientific arguments to support quality nursing and evidence-based practice. The nature of nursing and its relationship with science remains an area of ongoing debate, controversy and considerable confusion to both students and practitioners. For a science-based health discipline, it is something of a paradox that most nursing students have limited exposure to scientific philosophy education, which is not covered in depth in many modern university nursing programmes. This work seeks to remedy this: in providing material on modern scientific research methods, with particular emphasis on the context of practice, it presents an alternative theoretical iteration of holistic nursing as scientific inquiry.
