Worum geht es in dieser Arbeit?

<h4>Background</h4>Aligning nursing curricula with the 2021 American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) <i>Essentials</i> is complex and time intensive. Manual mapping often limits faculty capacity for deeper pedagogical discussions.<h4>Method</h4>A customized digital curriculum-mapping tool was integrated into the early stages of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing redesign. The tool embedded AACN <i>Essentials</i>, institutional guidelines, and standardized terminology. Faculty used structured prompts to generate draft outcomes, sub-competency mappings, and course sequencing, which were collaboratively refined.<h4>Results</h4>Faculty reported reduced time on manual formatting, improved consistency in terminology, and greater flexibility to apply workflows across courses. These efficiencies created space for strategic planning and higher-level curriculum discussions.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Digital mapping tools can streamline curriculum redesign, foster faculty engagement, and support alignment with national standards while preserving academic rigor.
