ANS

A beginning nursing student or any nurse entering a situation in which
there is no previous level of experience (e.g., an experienced operating
room nurse chooses to now practice in home health) is an example of a
novice nurse. A proficient nurse perceives a patient’s clinical situation as a
whole, is able to assess an entire situation, and can readily transfer
knowledge gained from multiple previous experiences to a situation. A
competent nurse understands the organization and specific care required
by the type of patients (e.g., surgical, oncology, or orthopedic patients).
This nurse is a competent practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing
care and establish long-range goals. A nurse who has had some level of
experience with the situation is an advanced beginner. This experience
may only be observational in nature, but the nurse is able to identify
meaningful aspects or principles of nursing care.
