Wright State University's Journey to Competency-Based Education

Nursing schools nationwide are ushering in a new approach to preparing professional nurses with the move to competency-based education (CBE). With grant funding from the American Nurses Foundation’s Reimaging Nursing Initiative, AACN is working to accelerate this historic shift through its Competency-Based Education for Practice-Ready Nurse Graduates initiative. AACN is providing technical assistance to nursing schools from across the country that have been hard at work implementing today’s competency standards, the Essentials, and making the move to CBE.

We spoke to ANF grant recipient Wright State University about the lessons they’ve learned thus far.
