Novice to Expert Model

  • This nursing theory proposes that expert nurses develop their knowledge of patient care and skill set by acquiring experiences collected over time and having a proper educational background
  • Foundation of the theory is based off the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition
  • Not concerned with how to do nursing, but rather on how do nurses learn to do nursing
  • Outlined by five levels of clinical competency, each building on the previous step as the nurse gains clinical experience

(RealityRN, 2013)

Novice

  • Beginner with no experience
  • Limited by general rules to aid in nursing care

- Example: "Tell me what I need to do and I'll do it" (David & Maisano, 2016, p.13)

- Most nursing students
