Abstract
BACKGROUND
Graduate nursing programs were encouraged to map their curriculum to the Quality and Safety Education in Nursing (QSEN) graduate knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSA) competency statements.
PURPOSE
Evaluation of the alignment between the 2009 QSEN graduate KSA competency statements and the 2021 American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials advanced-level (Level 2) subcompetencies is needed to support curricular transition to competency-based education and the Essentials.
METHODS
A team of 5 nursing education experts engaged in multiple rounds of review to seek consensus in determining alignment between the 2009 QSEN graduate KSA competency statements and the 2021 AACN advanced-level subcompetencies.
RESULTS
A QSEN-AACN graduate crosswalk tool was created, which reflects alignment of 34% of the 196 graduate QSEN KSA competency statements to the AACN Essentials subcompetencies at the advanced level. 36% of the graduate QSEN KSA competency statements were found to align with the AACN subcompetencies at the entry level.
CONCLUSIONS
The 2009 QSEN graduate competencies are embedded within 2021 AACN Essentials at entry and advanced levels. However, a sizable shift toward entry level is noted, which represents an evolution in expectations for contemporary practice. This holds significance for graduate nursing faculty as they work to revise curriculum and assessments to meet new guidelines and standards for the profession.
