numerous advantages to the classroom setting including ease of access to course content,

A precisely organized and methodical curricular needs assessment was performed to
determine the differences in current practice or knowledge and current evidence-based best
practices related to the implementation of nursing education via survey of stakeholders and
critical evaluation of current and prior learning activities for baseline information. Findings

and enhance the overall infrastructure of nursing education within this institution.
Stakeholder alignment with the implementation of the Lippincott Solution platform was
obtained with the interest of providing learners with the best possible chance of success through
streamlined, standardized, and evidence-based modalities of teaching that assists learners with
superior skill acquisition, development of critical thinking, and higher order cognitive
functioning to prepare them to translate theory to practice. [Show Less]
