Described, is a strategy session to identify how to integrate the Framework for Cultural Competence and Cultural Safety in Nursing Education (Aboriginal Nurses Association of Canada, Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing, Canadian Nurses Association) into a baccalaureate nursing program. Emphasis is placed on engaging a wider community building on faculty and institutional strengths and resources to gather a network of Elders, nurses, students, and faculty. Outlined, is the process to identify potential learning experiences, key resources for implementing the Framework, and developing an advocacy statement to influence School of Nursing (SON) and university level policy regarding commitment to the Framework, its values and principles. Written as a narrative, the information can be shared with other SONs as they move forward with their own work in cultural safety and Aboriginal nursing.

Acooperative accelerated baccalaureate program developed by the Schools of Nursing of University of Texas Health Science Center and University of Texas Medical Branch was designed to make available an on-line nursing program for second degree students to meet the increased demand for nurses in Texas. Faculty from both schools were committed to enhancing human caring in nursing education and practice by means of developing a joint curriculum devoted to the value of Compassionate Excellence. This response assesses the curricular courses and the evaluative highlights of the program in terms of the meaning, to the author, of Compassionate Excellence in nursing education.
