MANE Mission and Vision The mission of the Minnesota Alliance for Nursing Education (MANE) is to increase baccalaureate prepared nurses through collaborative, transformative educational strategies. Through increased access to baccalaureate nursing education MANE will prepare professional nurses to promote health and meet the evolving and complex healthcare needs of an increasingly diverse population in Minnesota. The purpose of the Minnesota Alliance for Nursing Education is to improve access to baccalaureate education in Minnesota, closely aligning nursing education with emerging health care needs and health care system changes. Students admitted to a MANE collaborating college or university will be enrolled in a four year (eight-semester) baccalaureate program, which will incorporate curriculum designed to facilitate deep, contextually grounded learning which prepares them for the rapidly changing health care environment upon graduation. MANE Nursing Program Curriculum The MANE curriculum is transformative, moving away from independent silos of education to collaboration between universities, community colleges and practice. MANE is a collaborative between community college and university nursing programs to provide increased student access to a baccalaureate program and attainment of a Bachelor of Science in nursing (BSN) degree. Students admitted to a community college MANE program will be dually admitted to Metropolitan State University. The program was built following a thorough analysis of national standards including AACN, CCNE, NLN, ACEN (NLNAC), PEW, OCNE, and QSEN from which ten program competencies have been developed. This 120 credit, eight semester program has collaboratively developed prerequisites, admission processes, grading scales, and a Program Plan across all collaborating colleges and universities. The MANE Program Plan content is taught within a concept-based curriculum which spirals concepts throughout each semester of the program. MANE Program Plan The MANE Program Plan content is taught within a concept-based curriculum which spirals concepts throughout the program. Nursing courses are sequential in nature due to the spiraled teaching/learning methodology. The MANE Program Plan is a baccalaureate curriculum based on The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education (AACN, 2008) with Program Student Learning Outcomes (PSLO s) benchmarked at the fifth and eight semesters of the program. A student enrolled at a MANE community college will receive an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing at the successful completion of the fifth semester. The student is expected to continue to the completion of the Bachelor of Science in nursing degree. An applicant admitted to the MANE collaborating college will be considered dually admitted to a collaborating university. Revised October 7, 2015 Page 3
