This episode of the NLN Nursing EDge Unscripted Saga track is part two of two celebrating the life of Em Bevis. Dr. Bevis was a key figure in the NLN curriculum revolution, advocating for a humanistic approach to nursing education. She emphasized the importance of teaching methods that engage students in higher-order thinking and caring interactions. Her work, including the influential book "Toward a Caring Curriculum: A New Pedagogy for Nursing" co-authored with Dr. Jean Watson, challenged traditional behavioral models and promoted a curriculum focused on human interactions and intentional learning. Dr. Bevis's legacy continues to inspire nurse educators to create meaningful and transformative learning experiences.
Dedicated to excellence in nursing, the National League for Nursing is the leading organization for nurse faculty and leaders in nursing education.
