...October 2002 national competency standards for the enrolled nurse Introduction Description of Enrolled Nurse National Competency Standards Assessing Competence Glossary of Terms Introduction The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council (ANMC) is a peak national nursing and midwifery organisation established in 1992 with the purpose of developing a national approach to nursing and midwifery regulation. The ANMC works in conjunction with the state and territory nursing and midwifery regulatory authorities (NMRAs) to produce national standards which are an integral component of the regulatory framework to assist nurses and midwives to deliver safe and competent care. The standards include the national competency standards for enrolled nurses which were first adopted by the ANMC in the early 1990s. These have been reviewed and revised regularly since then. Other standards developed by the ANMC for implementation by the NMRAs include the competency standards for registered nurses, midwives and nurse practitioners, codes of professional conduct and ethics, and a range of position statements and guidelines. The full list of standards, position papers and guidelines produced by the ANMC can be viewed on the website. The national competency standards for the enrolled nurse are scheduled for review in 2007. This review will be undertaken by a team of expert nursing consultants and will include extensive consultation with nurses around Australia. The purpose underpinning the review...

...Running head: EDUCATIONAL PREPARATION 1 Differentiating Nursing Competencies by Educational Preparation Rebecca B. Roe Grand Canyon University: NRS-430V Professional Dynamics February 15, 2013 EDUCATIONAL PREPARATION Differentiating Nursing Competencies by Educational Preparation Significant efforts are currently being designed to form partnerships between executives, 2 academia, and professional organizations to ensure nursing curricula and core competencies meet the needs of the complex and constantly changing health-care system, and those efforts will support a seamless path to advanced nursing degrees (AONE, 2005). The common goal for nursing is the promotion of academic progression between all entry levels, and support a more diverse and well educated nursing workforce that will adequately reflect and care for our changing demographic (AACN, 2012). The recently published NLN Education Competency Model (2010) provides a comprehensive overview of core nursing competencies at all levels of nursing education, listing expected proficiencies in each level attained. While debate continues for the BSN to be the accepted entry to practice, the shortage of nurses and lack of nursing instructors will dictate the need for the provision of trained nurses who can meet the needs of a more complex health-care system, and will continue a path of lifelong learning to fill important advanced nursing roles. The 2010 Affordable Care Act provides exciting and challenging opportunities...

...Running head: COMPETENCY DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN ADN AND BSN Competency Differential Between ADN and BSN Grand Canyon University NRS-430V Competency Differential Between ADN and BSN The role of a nurse has been recognized for centuries. The educational requirements of a nurse have been debated for about as long. Throughout the centuries, the role of the nurse has changed and at the same time, so have the education requirements for entry into the profession. Nurses have been educated in different scholastic settings throughout the ages and although nurses function in similar roles within the workplace, there are differences in competency based on educational background. This paper will focus on the competency differences in students trained at the associate level versus those trained at the baccalaureate level. Prior to 1909, prospective nurses were taught in hospital-based schools. These nurses earned their Diploma in Nursing after spending 2-3 years of intense training, living and working in a hospital. In 1909, the first permanent undergraduate university nursing program was established at the University of Minnesota. The time and money that was required for university programs made it difficult for many and enrollment was extremely low compared to the hospital-based diploma programs (Creasia & Friberg, 2011). In 1924, working with an endowment established by the Rockefeller Foundation, Annie Goodrich started a baccalaureate program, Bachelors of Science...

...Core Competency: Evidenced-Based Practic C 08/13 Evidenced-Based Practice is ”the practice of nursing in which the nurse makes clinical decisions on the basis of the best available current research evidence, his or her own clinical expertise, and the needs and preferences of the patient.” (Mosby, 2009, p. 677). Utilizing Evidenced Based Practice is a way to give the best, most effective care to patients. This paper will discuss methods and results of a study and how the results were obtained. Next, I will discuss possible barriers to EBP, and ways to overcome these barriers; and finally, facilitators to EBP. The study that was used was “Clinical Nurse Specialists’ Approaches in Selecting and Using Evidence to Improve Practice.” The purpose of this study was to determine the method that CNS use to incorporate evidence in everyday practice. The method was a telephone survey with a 75% response rate. journals, internet, and online research data bases rather than their peers and experiences. The study also pointed out downfalls or barriers to EBP including financial resources and resistant organizational culture (Profetto-McGrath, Negrin, Hugo & Smith, 2010, p. 38). Although Evidenced-Based Practice is beneficial for improved patient care and outcomes, there are some barriers to using this source. First there is inadequate research that is up to date with some of the more complicated problems, studies that are not complete or hard to read and understand, and studies...

...Associate and Baccalaureate Competencies After World War II there was a shortage of nurses in the work force. Dr. Mildred Montag wrote her dissertation on the need to fill much needed positions and created a curriculum to train nurses at the two year level instead of the standard which was four year hospital apprenticeship training at the university level (GCU website, nd). The creation of the two year level trained nurse served its purpose in times of shortages. Hospitals and other facilities have increasingly become interested in the baccalaureate trained nurse due to being better able to handle patient circumstances requiring higher level of thinking (AACN, 2014). Competency Differences There are many differences between the two year technical nurse and the baccalaureate-degree level nurse which begins with education. The two year associate and the baccalaureate nurse are trained with the same basic education core requirements such as history, anatomy, etc., and fundamental bedside nursing skills. Although the baccalaureate degree nurse has more in depth education at the university level in the physiological, psychosocial, and other holistic teachings. Both the two year and four year trained nurse are able to take the same RN NCLEX. The two year trained nurse is by design of Dr. Montag less expensive at the community level college and can produce trained nurses faster. It also has an added benefit that the two year nurse has an opportunity to advance from lower...

...research and analysis that support their deliberations. The Health Professions Education report (IOM, 2003) forcefully impacted the health care profession we know today by making huge changes in the way we prepare our healthcare staff in both academics and clinical practice settings.
