Abstract

The implementation of genomic nursing education should be based on evidence, comparing what students know about genetics and genomics with what they need to know. In this multisite feasibility study, a standardized inventory of genetic-genomic knowledge was administered to students in 14 baccalaureate nursing programs. Data contribute to instrument validation, provide a snapshot of genetic-genomic knowledge among US nursing students, and inform planning for a large, multisite study.
