The MS in nursing education program content and outcomes are guided by multiple sources of knowledge
including theory, evidence, and professional nursing standards and guidelines (PSNGs). Professional
nursing standards provide expectations for advanced professional nursing roles and practice. Throughout
the graduate program you will engage in learning activities that will enable you to acquire and meet these
standards; these activities will be documented in a final assignment at the culmination of the graduate
program to show linkage to the PSNGs. This learning exercise provides an opportunity to reflect on how a
variety of learning activities helped you to meet the PSNGs and the graduate program outcomes. The
table will be submitted during the final graduate practicum course (NURS 605), and is posted in each
course as a reminder and to provide you with an opportunity to document how you met various standards
in that course, as you complete each course. Save the table and add to it each time you complete a
course!
Note: this assignment is for students who are matriculated into the graduate program in
nursing education. This is not applicable to non-matriculated students!
There are nine essentials of graduate nursing education that identify the core expectations, skills, and competencies for masters
program graduates, across the continuum of care in a variety of settings. Within each essential element there are between 5-15
expected outcomes for masters level graduates in nursing. Refer to these outcomes as you identify how you met each essential, and
include those met in the assignment table below.
Complete the following table as you progress through the MS program, when you have completed an
assignment that meets one or more of the standards. This table will be submitted as an assignment in
NURS 605: Graduate Practicum II. Complete Columns 2, 3, and 4 in the table below. In Columns 2 and 3,
identify at least one Essential and/or Core Competency with associated outcomes (at least one outcomes
per standard), and then an example of an assignment or learning activity that met this standard. Identify
the assignment, describe the assignment focus and outcome in 50-75 words, followed by a brief statement
as to how this met the standard. In Column 4, identify the number(s) of the Graduate Program Student
Learning Outcome (listed above) that links to these course activities. All of the MSN Essentials, Core
Competencies, and Program Outcomes should be represented in the table.
The following sample provides an example, and may be deleted when the table is submitted.
