This can allow the project to continue to engage in forward momentum, with all parties feeling like they still have distinct amounts of power and autonomy. Even so, as dual leaders, they need to bring their collective experience to the project as well. The Dean of Nursing at Spring Haven University has simply had different experiences, successes and failures, than the Chair of Nursing at Mountainview Community College, and vice versa. There needs to be a conversation, plan and understanding about how to bring their differing experience to the table and how to make use of all this shared wisdom.
2. What factors should be considered when deciding on leadership for the collaborative curriculum development process?
The factors that need to be considered when it comes to deciding on leadership for the collaborative curriculum process are the different strengths and weaknesses that the two separate leaders bring to the table. Also, they are both likely to have differing priorities and non-negotiables, so those differences will also need to be spelled out from the beginning. In certain companies, shared leadership can be a massive adjustment, but can ultimately bring about positive benefits. For instance, in some companies, "Using the shared leadership model gave these leaders the opportunity to focus on the areas in which they are most talented, to hire team leaders, and thus develop a successful, well-rounded and somewhat 'flattened' company vs. A more hierarchically structured company. For this organization, flattening has also meant that power, authority, and decision-making are more widely and deeply dispersed, both laterally and vertically, giving...
However, in light of approaching accreditation review, the results of this year's testing must be responded to quickly. Therefore, a suitable time frame for curriculum development would be three months across the slowest enrollment quarter for Meadowvale. Presuming this would be concurrent with the summer months, the fall semester thereafter would correspond with a pilot period.

Nursing Education Does nursing have a unique body of knowledge or is it the application of various other fields of knowledge in a practice setting? Nursing does have a unique body of knowledge as Moyer and Whittmann-Price (2008) state "it is nursing's unique knowledge base that warrants a unique service or practice called professional nursing" (6).

Indeed, this multicultural state of the nursing profession can be very profitably incorporated into one of the key tools that I would use in developing, assessing, and evaluating curricula.
