1 TITLE Introduction The nursing curriculum is intended to provide students with a skills base in the physical and behavioral sciences, arts, and nursing philosophy. Students also hear about the wellbeing and wellness promotion of patients / clients and their communities.A problem-solving technique, commonly referred to as the nursing method, is being taught in the curriculum. The nursing curriculum contains asystematic five-step methodology used to improve the capacity of students to make important nursing decisions. The process involves the assessment of patients, the design of nursing diagnostics, the creation of a nursing care plan, the execution of the strategy and, ultimately, the evaluation of nursing interventions. Furthermore, the curriculum also contains evidence based materials that will increase their knowledge, skill, expertise and lead to an effective outcome (Baron, 2017). Critique and analysis While the Government of Saudi Arabia prioritized health services growth, itfaces a range of challenges as the shortages of health providers from Saudi Arabia, shifts in the disease trend, high demand for free care, lack of the National health information system and the capacity of online health strategies remain underutilized. The nursing career and education mustfulfill the needs for rising demographics and technologies in the health sector with the accelerated growth of Saudi Arabia, in particular in the healthcare sector. Public health nurses are essential resources to supporting and preserving the safety of communities through teaching, public and social policy skills. The nursing specializationin Saudi Arabia needs the integration into the nursing curriculum of public health education and associated skills. Saudi’s public health nurse in future will be able to tackle health and disease
2 TITLE determinants that are important to a culturally distinct population. In Saudi Arabia there are two forms of nursing programs. These are funded by the Health Institutes of the Ministry of Health for both male and female secondary school students and by the University Baccalaureate Nursing Program, currently limited to women (Colet et al., 2015). Recommendation Modernizingprofessionsintheareaofhealthcareincludestheadvancementof knowledge in public health and associated skillsPublic health expertise, particularly those living with chronic illnesses, is of great significance to the public health agenda of the 21st century. The Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia has continuously emphasized the importance of nursing and is also dealing with the challenge of ensuring public safety and planning for the development of nursing curricula. A comprehensive curricular curriculum is required to include Saudi Arabia's public-health nursing education that prepares nurses for public-health competences relevant to chronic diseases and the position of the global health workforce of the twenty-first century. The safety and well-being of the people of Saudi Arabia and the neighboring countries will constitute a major component of the curriculum and will allow students to do the following: (1) undertake requirements evaluation for the facilities that are available; (2) the detection and preventing of hereditary, social and environmental determinants of diseases; and (3) the expertise in scientific education, prevention and research. The public health program in nursing education will include the sciences and practices that support public health for this specific community and offer advantages to the professional nursing profession and the Saudi population (Jradi, Zaidan & Al Shehri, 2013).
