This week's lesson and graded assignment are opportunities for you to evaluate your own
competencies in order to better understand nursing informatics and enhance your knowledge and skills.
Competency assessment is an on-going process. You might be quick to assume that your competencies
will always increase. Be mindful of barriers and challenges as you reflect on this topic. As you progress
in this course, in the program, and beyond, how might you expect your competencies to evolve?

As a BSN, we were expected to be able to use available technology to do our jobs
efficiently and safely. Over time, those that became more proficient at their job
became the to-go person on the unit for help. Eventually, these nurses are thrown
into higher degrees of responsibility and position, whether that be as a preceptor or
a supervisory role. Now, we progress into the graduate level education, we will be
expected these available technological resources to communicate with other
disciplines, manage education wisely and help reduce the chance of or prevent
medical mishaps. It’s interesting in that already, just reading through the chapters,
I’ve already thought of an idea (albeit an invention if not already out there) that
can further help reduce errors. Further research will be needed.
