Undergraduate Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) Learning Modules
Between 2010 and 2014, AACN led a faculty development effort linked to the national Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) initiative funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. To build on AACN’s commitment to further disseminate the QSEN teaching strategies, AACN launched web-based learning modules focused on six core competencies:
- Patient-centered care
- Teamwork and collaboration
- Evidence-based practice (EBP)
- Quality improvement (QI)
- Safety
- Informatics
The overall goal of the QSEN curriculum is to help faculty prepare nurses with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) necessary to continuously improve the quality and safety of patient care in the healthcare systems where they work.
These modules focus on Undergraduate Education. You may also be interested in the Graduate Education QSEN Modules.
The QSEN modules are free for AACN members and non-members.
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.
Faculty will have the opportunity to earn American Nurses Credentialing Center Contact Hours for each QSEN competency module. Contact hours will be awarded to those who watch the learning module in its entirety and complete the evaluation process.
