Competency-based orientation in pediatric critical care.
Having recognized the need to update and modify their orientation program, a PICU nursing management team decided to develop a competency-based program. The goal was to facilitate transition of an orientee into a competent entry-level practitioner. This article outlines the procedure used to develop the initial phases: lists of competencies, competency evaluation worksheet and performance checklists. Later, various learning options and additional evaluation methods will be explored.
