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

meaningful aspects or principles of nursing care.
