As your AACN Essentials Champion, I want to share the great resources offered by AACN to move us to competency-based education (CBE)! Champions serve as the central point of contact and communication liaison for each AACN member school. We meet quarterly to identify issues, ask questions, and share ideas during virtual Q & A sessions with AACN staff leaders.
The FAQs were updated recently and on an ongoing basis as more questions come to AACN. Webinars, toolkits, and many more resources are available (faculty free access: AACN Login). Click the link to access all the resources available on the newly updated AACN Essentials Home page, or to specific links below.
Please forward any concerns or questions to me, Dawn Mueller-Burke.
PLEASE note UMSON being selected to host a fall 2023 Faculty Development CBE workshop!
