I teach at a 2 years ADN program and recently felt this had really been lost in our program. We have reintegrated the history of nursing back into the program. We have 2 videos they watch. Each about 35 minutes. The history of Nursing Part 1 and 2 by Ken Lam. The students watch part 1, one week and do a discussion board, then the next week they watch part 2 and do a discussion board. Then at the end of the semester in their scholarly paper, they reviewed the history of nursing and trends for the future. It has been wonderful to bring this back with importance. 2/11/2021 03:27:50 am

I teach in an ATB (associate to bachelor) program. With out curriculum changes about 10 years and also 5 years ago, nursing history is taught in our Fundamentals course. Before COVID, I had a video produced by the NLN (Nursing and Social Reform), that I showed (about a 45 minute film - excellent content showing how nursing has evolved in the USA based on all of the social upheavals that the USA has gone through from the civil war to the civil rights movement) and beyond to more modern events. Then I had them write a reflection on what they saw and then have a class discussion. Now that COVID has impacted in-person classes, I now used a PPT presentation with Zoom and have them read about nursing history on the University of Pennsylvania's Web site of Barbara Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing.
