Abstract

As our nursing specialty evolves, competency in the rapidly changing healthcare environment remains a key component in our ability to produce positive patient outcomes. Competency gives us confidence to care for our patients. But developing competency is just one step to becoming an expert nurse. Nurses' expertise and competency grows over the years--a product of experiences.
