Understanding the Practice of New Nurses
![Page 2: Understanding the Practice of New Nurses. According to Benner’s Theory Novice to Expert – Novice – Advanced Beginner – Competent – Proficient – Expert](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649f445503460f94c655bd/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
According to Benner’s Theory
• Novice to Expert– Novice– Advanced Beginner– Competent– Proficient– Expert
![Page 3: Understanding the Practice of New Nurses. According to Benner’s Theory Novice to Expert – Novice – Advanced Beginner – Competent – Proficient – Expert](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649f445503460f94c655bd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Novice
• New graduates of an RN program and are now in orientation
• Gaining knowledge and expereince in clinical and technical skills
• Under guidance of preceptor– Follows guidelines and rules learned in nursing
school and in orientation– Use objective data and seeks assistance in making
clinical decisions

Advanced Beginner• Guided by policies, procedures and standards.• Building a knowledge base through practice• Most comfortable in task-oriented environment• Describe a clinical situation from the viewpoint of
what they need to do– Not according to the context of how the patient
responds• Practice from a theoretical knowledge base while
they recognize and provide for routine patient needs
![Page 5: Understanding the Practice of New Nurses. According to Benner’s Theory Novice to Expert – Novice – Advanced Beginner – Competent – Proficient – Expert](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649f445503460f94c655bd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Competent• These nurses integrate theoretical knowledge
with clinical experience in the care of patients and families
• Care is delivered using a deliberate, systematic approach,
• Practice is guided by increasing awareness of patterns of patient responses in recurrent situations
• Demonstrate mastery of most technical skills• Begin to view clinical situations from the
patient’s and family’s viewpoints

Proficient
• These nurses have in-depth knowledge of nursing practice
• Perceive each situation as a whole and comprehend the significant elements based on their own previous experience
• Demonstrate ability to recognize situational changes that require unplanned interventions
• Progression from a task orientation to a holistic view of patient care

Progression is a Process
• Nurses progress through stages in a stepwise fashion and must “spend time” in each stage to be able to progress to the next.
• Amount of time is not nearly as important as quality of time
![Page 11: Understanding the Practice of New Nurses. According to Benner’s Theory Novice to Expert – Novice – Advanced Beginner – Competent – Proficient – Expert](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649f445503460f94c655bd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Let’s Look at Another Activity
• It is one of the most complex everyday things we do
• It is a skill that consists of at least fifteen hundred “subskills”
• It seems so easy that we tend not to dwell on it
• It has become like breathing or an involuntary reflex
![Page 12: Understanding the Practice of New Nurses. According to Benner’s Theory Novice to Expert – Novice – Advanced Beginner – Competent – Proficient – Expert](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649f445503460f94c655bd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Driving
![Page 13: Understanding the Practice of New Nurses. According to Benner’s Theory Novice to Expert – Novice – Advanced Beginner – Competent – Proficient – Expert](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649f445503460f94c655bd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Driving/Nursing
• But for most of us it also describes nursing• We’ve been at it for a long enough time that
our thoughts and actions have become second nature
• However, these same thoughts and actions that have become commonplace and “a piece of cake” to us can seem mysterious, confusing, and even magical to new practitioners
![Page 14: Understanding the Practice of New Nurses. According to Benner’s Theory Novice to Expert – Novice – Advanced Beginner – Competent – Proficient – Expert](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649f445503460f94c655bd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
New Drivers/New Nurses
• Missed opportunities during critical stages of skill acquisition can permanently stall progression to becoming either a better driver or a better nurse
• New drivers are “turned loose” as soon as they get a license– Must develop remaining skills on their own
because of lack of immediate feedback
![Page 15: Understanding the Practice of New Nurses. According to Benner’s Theory Novice to Expert – Novice – Advanced Beginner – Competent – Proficient – Expert](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649f445503460f94c655bd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
New Nurses Have an Advantage
• They have a preceptor!• Performance can be evaluate on a continual
basis •
![Page 16: Understanding the Practice of New Nurses. According to Benner’s Theory Novice to Expert – Novice – Advanced Beginner – Competent – Proficient – Expert](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649f445503460f94c655bd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Value of a Preceptor
• Once the new nurse is off of orientation she or he will practice in the same environment as every other nurse– ALONE and unsupervised
• Typically, the only people present during nurse/patient interactions are the nurse and the patient– The patient is not usually in a position to evaluate
the quality of care
![Page 17: Understanding the Practice of New Nurses. According to Benner’s Theory Novice to Expert – Novice – Advanced Beginner – Competent – Proficient – Expert](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649f445503460f94c655bd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Feedback After the Fact
• Not usually the kind we want• Ticked off fellow drivers, traffic tickets, car
crashes, action taken against our drivers license
• Unhappy patients and families, poor patient outcomes, less-that-stellare performance review, action taken against our nursing license
![Page 18: Understanding the Practice of New Nurses. According to Benner’s Theory Novice to Expert – Novice – Advanced Beginner – Competent – Proficient – Expert](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649f445503460f94c655bd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Concurrent Feedback is the Key
• Preceptors need to be careful not to turn their new nurses loose too soon
• Take every opportunity to evaluate and provide feedback
• Help new nurses become comfortable asking for feedback and self-identifying learning needs.
![Page 19: Understanding the Practice of New Nurses. According to Benner’s Theory Novice to Expert – Novice – Advanced Beginner – Competent – Proficient – Expert](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649f445503460f94c655bd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
You Can’t Rush Benner!
• Six weeks of orientation will not (cannot) transform a novice nurse into a proficient nurse, or an expert nurse
• New nurses need long amounts of time in each stage to be able to progress to the next
• Take advantage of the time you have together to help the new nurse be able to gain the skills and patterns of thinking needed to progress through the stages and become the best nurse they can.
