The faculty of the Florence Darlington Technical College (FDTC) School of Nursing used the six QSEN competencies as a foundation to redefine the student program learning outcomes. The outcomes were leveled across four levels of the curriculum to show a progression from simple to complex knowledge, skills, and behaviors. Each course of the curriculum has a set of outcomes derived from the leveling of outcomes. As the student successfully completes each course in a level, the student will achieve the level outcomes which ultimately leads to achievement of the program outcomes.
