title: Rubrics role in measuring nursing staff competencies.
abstract: Rubrics are commonly used in academic settings but have not been widely adapted for nursing professional development. Hurdles for the implementation of rubrics in the clinical setting should be noted. However, the benefits for rubrics in replacing the more commonly seen skills checklist should motivate nursing professional development specialists in overcoming these challenges.
