The field of nursing is at an inflection point and recent changes in policy and practice have amplified the need for competency-based education and assessment. Students now need to go beyond foundational and procedural knowledge and must demonstrate competency in clinical judgment to succeed in today’s healthcare environment. 

White paper highlights 

  • The need for competency-based education and assessment has gained importance in undergraduate nursing programs because of recent changes in policy and practice. It is crucial that we support faculty in meeting these needs. 

  • This study provides a quantitative model of NCJMM Layer 3 in content (Table 1) embedded within twelve FUN scenarios (Table 2 in SLS (hands-on and VR). 

  • The alignment or connections reflected in the models (Figures 2 to 6) should be seen as curricular opportunities for cultivating students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes for success as future entry-level nurses.
