1. As the number of older adults in the US increases, nurse educators must be prepared to teach gerontological nursing to their students. A 3-year project addresses the need for faculty development in gerontological nursing. 2. A major objective of the project is to provide basic knowledge of gerontological nursing to regional nursing faculty through a series of 1-week workshops that include didactic content and clinical observation experiences. 3. All 1990 workshops were filled to capacity, with participants exhibiting wide variation in their gerontological knowledge base.
Assessing community-based, community-focused nursing education outcomes is a continuing conversation about the teaching/learning process between faculty, students, and communities. No longer is the focus primarily on the content and competencies that nursing faculty members believe students need to master. Rather, this conversation is now expanded, and thus fundamentally changed, by its focus on the development of new relationships requisite to community-focused practice which is characterized by quality and competency. The authors explore the role and process of assessment in helping faculty and students identify and clarify competencies needed to practice community-focused, community-based nursing.
