Week 1 Discussion
Now that you have examined the Nurse of the Future Nursing Core Competencies, why do you think that these competencies were selected? Which 2 of the 10 competencies will be most important to your future nursing practice and why?
These competencies were selected by the Competency Committee of the Nurse of the Future Nursing Core Competencies (NOFNCC) Joint Working Group as a “set of assumptions to serve as a framework for its work and as guiding principles for the design of a competency-based education and practice partnership model” (Massachusetts Department of Higher Education, 2010, p. 3). This model would integrate patient safety, patient care, curriculum models for differing levels of practice, define the roles of nurses within the work setting and be relevant in all stages of care amongst all patient populations. This model ensured “the nurses of the future will be proficient in a core set of competencies” (Massachusetts Department of Higher Education, 2010, p. 4). The integration of these competencies ensured there was a transition from one nursing program to the next (LPN to RN to BSN) differentiating levels of competency. This was done in hopes to inspire students in continuing their education. Incorporation of competencies into the workplace helped nurses move from the classroom into practice proficiently using all skills learned for their specific educational level. This better coordinated nurse’s training/orientation in practice. The NOFNCC model created a “common language that further facilitates integration in both academic and practice setting.” (Massachusetts Action Coalition, 2014, p. 3)
