Accelerate Nurse Readiness with Confidence and Competence
Today’s healthcare onboarding demands more: faster timelines, higher acuity, and less margin for inconsistency. AACN’s integrated pathway helps build confidence, close gaps, and retain talent. From assessment to preceptorship, every step supports clinical readiness and educator success.

Step 2: Build your base with Essentials of Critical Care Orientation
Align education with real clinical needs

Step 3: Facilitate with the Nurse Competency Framework & Toolkit
