NR 351 Week 1 Discussion Answer
The Massachusetts Nurse of the Future Nursing Core Competencies(©) assumes a crucial role in extending the Institute of Medicine’s core competencies for all healthcare professionals and the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competencies for quality and safety.
It delineates the anticipated standards for future professional nurses, expanding on knowledge, attitudes, and skills essential for initial nursing practice post the completion of a prelicensure nursing education program (Massachusetts Department of Higher Education Nursing Initiative, 2016).
These competencies are seamlessly integrated into innovative models of nursing curriculum, ensuring a coordinated transition into practice (Hood, 2018). The 10 competencies, representing a comprehensive framework for nursing practice, serve as a foundation for excellence in patient care, professional growth, and adaptation to the evolving healthcare landscape.
