Schools selected for nursing education innovation funding

Ten nursing schools will receive funding to accelerate the adoption of competency-based education, the American Association of College of Nursing announced this week. With funding through the American Nurses Foundation’s Reimagining Nursing Initiative, the selected schools will develop and implement competency-based learning and assessment in two out of the 10 areas of professional nursing competency identified in The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education. The schools will adopt competencies in the domain of population health and another area of their choice. They will receive $100,000 to support curriculum redesign; AACN will provide technical assistance through March 2025. (AACN news release, 12/5/22)
