The Essentials of Baccalaureate
Education for Professional Nursing Practice (2008)
This Essentials document serves to transform baccalaureate
nursing education by providing the curricular elements and framework for
building the baccalaureate nursing curriculum for the 21st century. These Essentials address the key stakeholders’
recommendations and landmark documents such as the IOM’s recommendations for
the core knowledge required of all healthcare professionals. This document
emphasizes such concepts as patient­centered care, interprofessional teams,
evidence­based practice, quality improvement, patient safety, informatics,
clinical reasoning/critical thinking, genetics and genomics, cultural
sensitivity, professionalism, and practice across the lifespan in an ever­changing
and complex healthcare environment
Essentials I­IX
delineate the outcomes expected of graduates of baccalaureate nursing programs.
Achievement of these outcomes will enable graduates to practice within complex
healthcare systems and assume the roles: provider of care;
designer/manager/coordinator of care; and member of a profession. Essential IX
describes generalist nursing practice at the completion of baccalaureate
nursing education. This Essential includes practice­focused outcomes that
integrate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes delineated in Essentials I –
VIII. The time needed to accomplish each Essential will vary, and each
Essential does not require a separate course for the achievement of the
outcomes.
The nine Essentials are:
Essential I: Liberal
Education for Baccalaureate Generalist Nursing Practice

A solid base in
liberal education provides the cornerstone for the practice and education
of nurses.

Essential II: Basic
Organizational and Systems Leadership for Quality Care and Patient Safety

Knowledge and skills
in leadership, quality improvement, and patient safety are necessary to
provide high quality health care.

Essential III: Scholarship
for Evidence Based Practice

Professional nursing
practice is grounded in the translation of current evidence into one’s
practice.

Essential IV: Information
Management and Application of Patient Care Technology

Knowledge and skills
in information management and patient care technology are critical in the
delivery of quality patient care.

Essential V: Health Care
Policy, Finance, and Regulatory Environments

Healthcare policies,
including financial and regulatory, directly and indirectly influence the
nature and functioning of the healthcare system and thereby are important
considerations in professional nursing practice.

Essential VI:
Interprofessional Communication and Collaboration for Improving Patient
Health Outcomes

Communication and
collaboration among healthcare professionals are critical to delivering
high quality and safe patient care.

Essential VII: Clinical
Prevention and Population Health

Health promotion and
disease prevention at the individual and population level are necessary
to improve population health and are important components of
baccalaureate generalist nursing practice.

Essential VIII:
Professionalism and Professional Values

Professionalism and
the inherent values of altruism, autonomy, human dignity, integrity, and
social justice are fundamental to the discipline of nursing.

Essential IX:
Baccalaureate Generalist Nursing Practice

The baccalaureate­graduate
nurse is prepared to practice with patients, including individuals,
families, groups, communities, and populations across the lifespan and
across the continuum of healthcare environments.
The baccalaureate
graduate understands and respects the variations of care, the increased
complexity, and the increased use of healthcare resources inherent in
caring for patients.
