About CBNE
Advancing Nursing Education Through Innovation, Collaboration, and Competency-Based Learning
At the Competency Based Nursing Education (CBNE) Network, our mission is to revolutionize nursing education by fostering a collaborative environment where educators can develop, implement, and evaluate competency-based learning strategies. We are dedicated to preparing entry and advanced level nursing students to transition to practice, equipped with the skills necessary to excel in diverse and dynamic healthcare settings.
​
Our vision is to be the leading voice in competency-based nursing education, empowering educators to innovate and refine teaching practices that align with the evolving needs of today's healthcare environment. Through our network, we strive to ensure that every nursing graduate is knowledgeable and capable of delivering high-quality patient care from day one.
Our Story
The CBNE Network began as a grassroots movement in response to the growing need for reform in nursing education. Sparked by a simple conversation among educators, our network quickly expanded, drawing over 600 members in just a few weeks. Today, we are a robust national organization, supporting a variety of workgroups that focus on advancing competency-based education. Our journey is one of collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to shaping the future of nursing.
