5. 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.
