title: [Competency evaluation].
abstract: How can we ensure that a professional is competent? In order to respond to this question in an adequate manner it is necessary to know what nursing competencies are and how to evaluate them. The current challenge is based on having these evaluations serve to establish well-defined competency levels, and that these are seriously considered when responsibilities are demanded, but also to bestow professional acknowledgement.
