Abstract
In April 2021, member deans of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing approved new standards for nursing education, with competency-based education as its foundation. The revised Essentials framework includes competencies organized within 10 domains at two levels of nursing education: entry level and advanced level. An advantage of this approach is greater clarity and confirmation regarding the knowledge and skills of nursing school graduates. Implementation of the new Essentials will occur over the next several years, and substantial changes to the curriculum, learning activities, and learner assessment is expected. The revision of the Essentials presents a significant opportunity for regulators to collaborate with schools and practice partners. To that end, this article provides an overview of the newly revised Essentials, discusses considerations and implications for nursing regulation, and puts forth recommendations for boards of nursing.
2021年4月,美国护理学院协会(American Association of Colleges of Nursing)的院长成员批准了以能力教育为基础的护理教育新标准。修订后的基本框架包括在护理教育两个级别的10个领域组织的能力:入门级和高级级。这种方法的一个优点是关于护理学校毕业生的知识和技能的更清晰和确认。在接下来的几年中,将会实施新的基本内容,预计课程、学习活动和学习者评估都将发生重大变化。《基本要领》的修订为监管机构与学校和实践伙伴合作提供了一个重要的机会。为此,本文概述了新修订的要点,讨论了护理法规的考虑和影响,并为护理委员会提出了建议。
期刊介绍:
Journal of Nursing Regulation (JNR), the official journal of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN®), is a quarterly, peer-reviewed, academic and professional journal. It publishes scholarly articles that advance the science of nursing regulation, promote the mission and vision of NCSBN, and enhance communication and collaboration among nurse regulators, educators, practitioners, and the scientific community. The journal supports evidence-based regulation, addresses issues related to patient safety, and highlights current nursing regulatory issues, programs, and projects in both the United States and the international community. In publishing JNR, NCSBN''s goal is to develop and share knowledge related to nursing and other healthcare regulation across continents and to promote a greater awareness of regulatory issues among all nurses.
