title: Advancing staff nurse competencies. From novice to expert.
abstract: Staff nurses are responsible for providing care to acutely ill patients, therefore, educators and managers can no longer be comfortable with developing staff to a basic level of competence; they have the responsibility to develop expert practitioners. To achieve this goal, a program using the "novice-to-expert" model for developing educational programs for each level of proficiency is described.
