Competencies

The author of this report is asked to compare and core competencies of a number of direct and indirect nursing roles. Titles involved include nurse administrator and nurse informatics when speaking of non-direct roles. Direct care provider roles include nurse educator, nurse practitioner (in a general practice, gerontology or family health situation) and so forth. There is also the list of AACN for Nurse Informatics, Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner competencies, AONE for Nurse Administrators and executives, family nurse practitioner competencies, NLN for nurse educators, and NONFP-NP Core Competencies and Content. Finally, there is the AANP Association for Nurse Practitioners.

Analysis

When it comes to core competencies for a nurse practitioner, which is a direct role, they are as follow. Each one selected will be followed by a comment about the direct and indirect implications:

A direct person would be reporting evidence and doing the procedures. An indirect person would be researching what happens with the direct approaches

Uses best available evidence to continuously improve quality of clinical practice

This is something that both direct and indirect people are doing to some degree.

This is something a direct care person would probably not need to know -- although they might

Strategic management

This is getting close to what a direct person would know but it would be much more up the alley of a nurse administrator or other indirect professional

Understanding of evidence-based practice

This is something that direct and indirect alike would use and it is very similar to the investigative skills item mentioned above

Shared Decision-Making

The line above about improving clinical practice within the direct care details about nurse practitioners is very close to what is being described here.

Here are a good list of items that would be more up the alley….....
