Incorporating the International Council of Nurses' Competencies Into the Nursing Program Curriculum
Background:
This article provides nursing educators with strategies for incorporating the International Council of Nurses' (ICN) domains across nursing program curriculum.
Method:
The ICN disaster nursing domains were incorporated in a nursing program using a scaffolding approach to ensure competencies were met. The program outcomes and objectives accompanying each domain were designed to be applicable across degree programs.
Results:
Appropriate inclusion of ICN competencies in the nursing program curriculum leads to matriculation of students who are prepared to respond in a disaster. Specific courses at each academic level across the curriculum were identified to show that existing courses can be adapted to include the ICN competencies.
Conclusion:
Ultimately, this article equips nurse educators with the skills to prepare nursing students to meet best practices related to disaster nursing through the integration of ICN competencies and domains. [.
