ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
is able to assess an entire situation, and can readily transfer knowledge gained from multiple
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
previous experiences to a situation. A competent nurse understands the organization and specific

ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
is a competent practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing care and establish long-range goals.
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
A nurse who has had some level of experience with the situation is an advanced beginner. This
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji

ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
aspects or principles of nursing care.
