What are the AACN Essentials?

From their website:

"Used to define quality in nursing education, the American Associations of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials outline the necessary curriculum content and expected competencies of graduates from baccalaureate, master’s, and Doctor of Nursing Practice programs.  AACN is dedicated to providing resources and support to facilitate this shift in nursing education. Whether you're an educator, student, or healthcare professional, explore this microsite to stay informed and engaged as we shape the future of nursing education together."

In this course, we will be focusing on Domain 5 and Domain 8 using competency-based learning. Students will be required to show mastery of specific competencies including case-studies, discussions, and project work. Please see the Syllabus and Course Content pages for more details.
