Implementation of Advanced-Level Competencies in Graduate Nursing Education
Webinar Details
As faculty in nursing graduate programs become familiar with the AACN Essentials, questions have surfaced about integration at the graduate level. In this webinar, Dr. Gail Armstrong, a DNP nurse educator, explores the foundational elements, concepts, domains, and competencies in relation to graduate nursing programs. Additionally, this webinar offers resources for integration of the advanced educational competencies and sub-competencies in both master’s and DNP curricula. Graduate nursing faculty will be reassured about what they are already doing and inspired by the opportunities offered by the AACN Essentials.
