Catalyst for Change: Evaluating the Effects of the Citizen Nurse Education.
Background: The purpose of this qualitative study was to evaluate the effects of curricular changes made to foster graduate students' understanding of how they can be catalysts of change. For more than a decade, the concept of the citizen nurse has been woven into coursework in nursing education, thus indicating an evaluation process was needed.
Method: Ten oral history interviews were completed with current students or alumni. Data were analyzed for codes, allowing the final themes to emerge.
Results: Two main themes emerged. Students reported (1) having a new understanding of what it means to be a nurse and (2) feeling more prepared to take action.
Conclusion: Students felt more prepared to lead change as the result of curricular changes that supported their ongoing education. [J Nurs Educ. 2024;63(9):626-629.].
