Abstract
Our large, two campus (one urban and one suburban) and two track (RN-BSN and Entry-level BSN) program has revised our BSN curriculum to reflect the new Level One American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education (AACN, 2021). This article describes the work to revise the curriculum to meet the demands of contemporary nursing education with increased elective choices for Generation Z learners, professional role courses on wellness and resiliency, a course on palliative care and symptom management, increased clinical hours to include virtual simulation and more community and public health experiences, and increased innovative student experiences with our clinical partners. A revised clinical evaluation tool (CET) was also developed to evaluate students in competency-based education and to reflect our new program outcomes.
