What This Document Provides
The full document includes the student’s responses to three prompts: a description of how the course helped meet Program Outcome 2 (creating a caring environment), a discussion of how learning met a specific AACN Essential competency (participatory approach to nursing care), and a description of how learning met a NONPF Ethics Competency.
