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.
