The QSEN Institute website is a central repository of information on the core QSEN competencies, KSAs, teaching strategies, and faculty development resources designed to prepare future nurses in continuously improving the quality and safety of the healthcare systems within which they work.
Using the Institute of Medicine (2003) competencies for nursing, QSEN faculty have defined pre-licensure and graduate quality and safety competencies for nursing and proposed targets for the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to be developed in nursing pre-licensure programs for each competency.
