Citing the Essentials in Scholarly Work

黑料吃瓜王 encourages faculty to use the 2021 Essentials as a resource to advance your scholarship and research in the area of nursing education and the preparation of practice-ready nurses. Please keep the following guidelines in mind:

• When citing the Essentials as a reference in a journal article, poster, presentation, or other work to be disseminated, please use the following citation:

American Association of Colleges of Nursing. (2021). The Essentials: Core competencies for professional nursing education. Accessible online at /Portals/0/PDFs/Publications/Essentials-2021.pdf

• When extracting tables, paragraphs, or larger segments of content for scholarly purposes, please seek permission by contacting Robert Rosseter rrosseter@aacnnursing.org with details on the content to be cited. The process is simple, and the turnaround time for approval is typically within 2-3 days.
