Crosswalk · BSN nursing → CCNE Standard III (Curriculum) · 6 key elements · 4 covered · 1 partial · 1 gap
Each key element is matched below to the courses whose syllabi address it, with a coverage call. The two flagged rows are where a reviewer is most likely to probe.
| Key element | Addressed by | Coverage |
|---|
| III-A: Curriculum reflects professional nursing standards | NUR 101 Professional Nursing Foundations; NUR 210 Nursing Ethics & Law | Fully covered |
| III-B: Built on a foundation of arts, sciences, and humanities | BIO 150/151 Anatomy & Physiology I–II; MTH 120 Statistics; PSY 130 Developmental Psychology | Fully covered |
| III-C: Logically structured toward expected student outcomes | Program outcome map in the catalog; NUR 101 → NUR 410 course sequence | Fully covered |
| III-D: Teaching-learning practices support outcomes | Active-learning and simulation methods documented across NUR syllabi | Fully covered |
| III-E: Includes planned clinical practice experiences | NUR 320/420 Clinical Practicum I–II (med-surg, community) | Partial |
| III-F: Considers the needs of a diverse population | One module within NUR 210 | Gap |
III-E (Partial). The med-surg and community practica are well documented, but no syllabus specifies required hours for a leadership or management practicum, which CCNE expects at the BSN level. The fix is likely a documentation update to NUR 420 rather than a new course.
III-F (Gap). Care of culturally diverse populations currently appears only as a single module inside NUR 210 Ethics & Law. There's no course or sustained thread mapping to this element, so this is the one to address before the self-study, either by threading it across the clinical courses or adding a dedicated unit.
The four fully-covered elements are ready to cite as-is. If you close III-E with a documentation update and give III-F a real home in the curriculum, Standard III is in good shape for review.
