Awarded third place in the 2017 AJN Book of the Year Awards in
Gerontologic Nursing.
How can nurse educators creatively use evolving knowledge of care of
older adults to effectively teach individualized, person-centered care
for this vulnerable population?
This unique guide to curriculum development--built on the
evidence-based, theoretical ACE.S framework--provides educator-ready
strategies to integrate teaching care of older adults in creative
ways.
The book is filled with exemplars of how faculty--many of them NLN
Hearst Foundations Award winners--applied the ACE.S framework to their
unique curricula. Nurse educators using this resource can study the
underpinnings of the ACE.S framework as a foundation for their use of
the free resources provided on the NLN website (www.nln.org/ACES).
" To the nurse educators who have the opportunity in these pages to
learn about ACE.S, teach the underlying academic theory, and expose
students to the unfolding cases and simulations, the Hearst Foundations
are grateful to you for your commitment to nursing education and to
preparing the next generation of this noble workforce to care for older
adults. "
