Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Professional Nursing Standards
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • The National League of Nursing (NLN) accredits baccalaureate nursing programs.
  • The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) outlines seven essential values for professional nursing.
  • Alignment between educational objectives and professional practice standards is crucial for nursing graduates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare NLN-accredited baccalaureate program objectives with AACN-defined professional nursing behaviors.
  • To identify congruence and discrepancies between stated educational goals and expected professional conduct.

Main Methods:

  • Content analysis of program objectives from NLN-accredited baccalaureate nursing programs.
  • Comparison of identified objectives against the seven core values and associated professional behaviors outlined by the AACN.

  • Classification of professional nursing behaviors according to the roles of baccalaureate graduates.

    • Main Results:

    • A majority of professional nursing behaviors were present in the program objectives.
    • Behaviors related to the values of truth and esthetics were found in a minority of program objectives.
    • Research and lifelong learning were highly prevalent in objectives but not consistently reflected in AACN professional behaviors.

    Conclusions:

    • Baccalaureate nursing curricula largely reflect professional nursing behaviors, with a notable gap in the values of truth and esthetics.
    • Discrepancies exist between emphasis on research/lifelong learning in objectives and their representation in professional behaviors.
    • The provider-of-care role is the most emphasized among baccalaureate graduate roles, followed by member-of-profession and coordinator-of-care.
