Nursing curriculum textbook

Nursing curriculum textbook. Mostly curriculum development theory. Didn't learn anything useful for a master's level class. Maybe it's useful for DNP or PhD nursing programs.

Required reading for an MSN class. Some chapters more interesting than others, good textbook for a class on developing nursing curriculum.
