Advancing staff nurse competencies. From novice to expert.
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.
