A forum for participants to hear firsthand from the AACN Task Force about the work to date.

The Essentials Task Force will share key elements of the Essentials, which are used to shape the development of undergraduate and graduate nursing programs, including domains, domain descriptors, competencies, and sub-competencies. Attendees will be able to review and provide input on the materials presented, which will shape future iterations of the Essentials as the re-envisioning process moves forward. We encourage deans, faculty, and students from member schools to attend the regional meetings along with their practice partners. In addition, national nursing organization representatives are welcome to attend.

Important Note: This regional meeting will focus on the Essentials related to Entry into Professional Nursing Practice. Two additional regional meetings will be announced in the spring and will focus on Advanced Professional Nursing Practice.

Participation is limited to the first 200 registrants.
