A beginning nursing student or any nurse entering a situation in which there is no previous level of
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


experience (e.g., an experienced operating room nurse chooses to now practice in home health) is
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


an example of a novice nurse. A proficient nurse perceives a patient’s clinical situation as a whole,
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


is able to assess an entire situation, and can readily transfer knowledge gained from multiple
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


previous experiences to a situation. A competent nurse understands the organization and specific
m m m m m m m m m m m m m


care required by the type of patients (e.g., surgical, oncology, or orthopedic patients). This nurse is
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


a competent practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing care and establish long-range goals. A
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


nurse who has had some level of experience with the situation is an advanced beginner. This
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


experience may only be observational in nature, but the nurse is able to identify meaningful aspects
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


or principles of nursing care.
