ResumoNursing curricula are in a constant state of evolution to meet stakeholder and population needs. Although general guidelines are available from accrediting organizations, particular curricular features are not mandated. Curricula from top-ranked nursing programs may provide some insight on best practices in curricular design.Curricula from top-ranked undergraduate nursing programs were reviewed for common features using publicly posted institutional materials and quantitative and qualitative analysis.Course requirements in general education, health assessment, pediatric, and mental health care were common across top-ranked programs. Notable differences in nomenclature and concentrations for adult health care were observed.Faculty and administrators may consider the research methodology and variations that were identified in this analysis as a basis for discussion when revising their curricula to meet the needs of future nurses.
