| Popis: | Background: Nursing 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. Method: Curricula from top-ranked undergraduate nursing programs were reviewed for common features using publicly posted institutional materials and quantitative and qualitative analysis. Results: 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. Conclusion: 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.
