DESCRIPTION
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.” George B. Irish Eastern Director, Hearst Foundations New York, New York.
