Evidence Your Nursing Curriculum Is Working
Exit, alumni, and employer surveys that help nursing programs measure preparedness, track change over time, and support CCNE and AACN expectations.
How Each Survey Adds Context
Benchworks nursing surveys gather feedback at key points around the student, graduate, and employer experience, giving programs evidence they can use in curriculum review, accreditation reporting, and program improvement.
Exit Surveys
Understand how students nearing graduation rate their preparedness, confidence, support, and overall program experience.
Alumni Surveys
Track how graduates reflect on their preparation after entering practice, including where the curriculum supported their transition and where gaps may remain.
Employer Surveys
Gather employer feedback on graduate preparedness, professional skills, and alignment with practice expectations.
Aligned With AACN Essentials and Nursing Accreditation Expectations
Benchworks nursing surveys help programs gather evidence used during accreditation review across major accrediting bodies, including CCNE, ACEN, and CNEA.
Survey results are mapped to the AACN Essentials, helping programs understand how graduates and alumni say they experienced key competencies.
Programs use Benchworks results to demonstrate graduate preparedness and program effectiveness during accreditation review, including evidence aligned with CCNE Standard IV.
Because surveys are administered consistently across cohorts, programs can track how student perceptions change over time and demonstrate continuous improvement.
How Nursing Programs Use Data to Strengthen Curriculum and Accreditation
Benchworks results help nursing programs connect feedback to action, whether they are preparing for accreditation, reviewing curriculum changes, or tracking preparedness over time.
