title: [Development and organization of a curriculum for joint theoretical education in geriatric, hospital and pediatric nursing].
abstract: From November 1996 through April 2001 the first long-term project in nursing education was carried out. The following five institutions participated in this project: the Caritas Cooperation of the diocese of Essen as project leader, the Catholic School of Nursing and the College of the Catholic Clincis of the Ruhrhalbinsel Essen as places of training, the Institute for Nursing Science at the University Bielefeld and the Institute of Gerontology at the University of Dortmund being in charge of the scientific part of the project. In this paper we present the main results of this study project: the curricula for the joint theoretical education in nursing in acute, geriatric and paediatric care. First the process of development is dealt with in a critical constructive manner. Next, the specific construction of the curricula will be justified and the nursing teaching methods are worked out. The third part is dedicated to the rough structure of the curricula and its particular characteristics (see Oelke and Menke, 2002).
