National Nursing Education Framework: Doctoral
In 2015, CASN published a national, consensus-based framework to capture the salient elements for nursing programs and graduates at each degree level, while simultaneously clarifying the expected progression from one degree level to the next.
In November 2022, the framework was reviewed and updated to ensure that the learning outcomes specified for each degree level continue to reflect current expectations for new graduates, as well as what graduates will need to know in the next few years.
Purpose of the Framework
The framework has been reviewed and updated to ensure that the learning outcomes specified for each degree level continue to reflect current expectations for new graduates, as well as what graduates will need to know in the next few years. Purpose of the Framework Nursing faculty can use the framework in various ways:
- As a guide when developing and revising curriculum (e.g., overall outcomes, course objectives, course outcomes, and individual course content);
- To inform submissions when applying for accreditation;
- To demonstrate the scope of nursing education to others in their institutions; and
- As a reference document during new faculty orientation
