Nurses are the guardians of people's lives and health. The competency of the clinical nurses become a key issue in nursing education. This article discusses the essence and the assessment of nurses' competency by reviewing the dissertation from the International Council of Nurses and the European nursing tuning programs. The article also analyzed the measurement tools of self-report scales, which nursing researchers frequently adopted. Based on the discussions mentioned above, the author provided some recommendations for a nursing competency assessment, which included 1) developing standardized tests for nurses, 2) establishing a competency norm for nurses, 3) setting nursing competency standards, and 4) planning value-added assessment. These suggestions will be very helpful in achieving the goal of the improvement in nursing education in the coming future. |
