Nursing Curriculum

The Nursing Curriculum section contains nursing curriculum and learning activities for all levels of nursing education, along with PN specific curriculum which can also be used in the 1st year of professional nursing programs.

The PN Curriculum was developed in 2013/2014 through a Minnesota State college and university grant received by HealthForce Minnesota - Center of Excellence. A collaboration of 23 Minnesota PN programs worked together to develop a PN curricular framework which includes courses, syllabi, assignments, clinical tools, and suggestions on implementation at schools of nursing within the state.
