The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) have defined clinical competencies for nursing students in their RN to BSN programs. These competencies are designed to ensure that nursing graduates have the knowledge and skills necessary to provide safe and effective patient care.

The CCNE and AACN have identified the following core clinical competencies for nursing students in RN to BSN programs:

1. Patient-centered care: This competency requires nursing students to prioritize the needs and preferences of the patient in all aspects of care.
2. Evidence-based practice: Nursing students must use the best available evidence to guide their clinical decision-making.
3. Quality improvement: Nursing students must be able to identify areas for improvement in healthcare delivery and implement strategies to improve patient outcomes.
4. Safety: Nursing students must understand the principles of patient safety and be able to identify and manage risks to patient safety.
5. Teamwork and collaboration: Nursing students must be able to work effectively with interdisciplinary teams to provide patient-centered care.
6. Informatics: Nursing students must be able to use technology and information systems to improve patient outcomes and support clinical decision-making.
7. Professionalism: Nursing students must adhere to professional standards and ethical principles in all aspects of their practice.

These competencies reflect the essential skills and knowledge required for nursing practice in today’s complex healthcare environment. RN to BSN programs are designed to help nursing students develop these competencies through a combination of coursework, clinical experiences, and direct and indirect care experiences within their hospital organizations, specific care disciplines, and local communities.
