Abstract
- Background: The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN, 2021) introduced "The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education" (Essentials) in 2021. The AACN document necessitated a change in nursing curriculums, both undergraduate and graduate. To meet the revised standards, one college of nursing within a hierarchical organization used a Three-Step Model of Planned Change to guide curricular revisions. This article presents the lessons learned from using the Three-Step Model of Planned Change, which includes barriers, strategies, and a toolkit for implementing planned change.<br />Step One-Desire a Change: Lessons learned include embracing the unifying values of the guiding coalition to understand the motivation(s) and urgency for change. Suggested strategies include creating a cross-sectional organizational team, utilizing collaborative approaches that value members' time, and various communication methods.<br />Step Two-Make the Change: Lessons learned include understanding the larger hierarchical structure's process requirements and time allotment for approval. Suggested strategies include establishing a repository hub for templates and shared documents, implementing various communication channels, and repurposing standing meeting times.<br />Step Three-Live the Change: As this process is just beginning, anticipated lessons include an understanding of changes occurring circuitously within and between steps. Considerations include significant and purposeful actions to deliver the new curriculum.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors have no competing interests to declare.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
