title: Competency assessment: a systematic approach.
abstract: An established clinical development plan was expanded to form a framework for a competency assessment model. Each nursing competency has a technical, interpersonal and critical thinking component. Behaviors describe all areas from novice to expert. The framework identifies and supports a professional model of nursing practice.
