Rossini, Silvia, et al. "Nursing students' satisfaction with the curriculum: An integrative review." Journal of Professional Nursing 37.3 (2021): 648-661. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.profnurs.2021.02.003

Rossini et al. explore nurses' satisfaction levels with the existing curriculum. The study was purposed to describe the various variables that define nursing student satisfaction. These variables include academic satisfaction trends during the course and the differences between nursing student behavior. The study found that student satisfaction is the ultimate quality indicator in higher education. Authors hold that approaches such as student centrality, innovative teaching, national curriculum, and teacher selection can be instrumental in improving nurse students' overall satisfaction with the curriculum. The study concluded that the aspects that predict nurses' satisfaction with the curriculum include, but are not limited to, social, development, faculty, and curriculum. Nurse satisfaction with the curriculum can best help address the chronic shortage of preoperative nurses.

Hsieh, Pei-Lun, and Ching-Min Chen. "Nursing competence in geriatric/long term care curriculum development for baccalaureate nursing programs: A systematic review." Journal of Professional Nursing 34.5 (2018): 400-411. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.profnurs.2018.05.006

This journal examines the impacts of long-term care and geriatric courses on nurses' skills and competence in geriatric long-term care. According to Hsieh and Chen (2018), the world is facing a drastic increase in the population of elderly persons, necessitating geriatric and long-term care. The study applied a systematic approach to examining BSN programs and courses related to long-term geriatric care. The study showed that integrating geriatric nursing and long-term care into the nursing undergraduate curriculum can significantly enhance students' nursing knowledge and competence. The journal also illustrates the role of practicum courses in increasing nurses' clinical skills, care knowledge, and intention for disability and geriatrics care. Authors hold that the nursing curriculum should be based on the need for geriatric care as the core foundation for clinical skills and knowledge to meet the elderly population's healthcare needs.
