focus on curriculum design and nursing program evaluation.

Part 1: Regulation of Nursing Programs: In the U.S., State Boards of Nursing regulate nursing education in the respective states. Using the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies Board of Nursing Regulations (found on the DORA website) for BSN programs, determine if the sample program of your choice would be approved in Colorado. 
• Address each of the following: 
1. Total credit hours, lecture, lab, simulation, and clinical hours 
2. General education core courses (number and types) 
3. Nursing courses/content areas and sequence 
• What is your conclusion? Would this program be approved in Colorado? 
• If not, what changes would have to be made to meet the Colorado requirements? Be specific. 

Part 2: You would also want to seek accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate 
Nursing Education. Please review the CCNE regulations and address the following: 
• Provide a brief overview of the accrediting agency 
• Provide the sequence of events required by the accrediting agency for a program to be accredited. 
• Based on the organization’s accreditation standards for a BSN program, do you think 
this curriculum meets these standards? 
• If not, what changes would have to be made to obtain accreditation by this organization. 
Be specific. 
• Programs must show evidence of a systematic plan to evaluate the program’s 
effectiveness. Briefly describe the type of data that must be collected and assessed. 

Part 3: All regulations and accreditation aside, what do you like about this curriculum and what would you change if you could and why? Identify at least two of each.
