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.
