Domains of Competence: An Bord Altranais assumptions Competence is NOT purely concerned with skills
„competent nurse possess many attributes‟ practical and technical skills, communication and interpersonal skills, organisational and managerial skills, evidence based practice, reflective thinking and problem solving abilities
Competence is not static
Competence must therefore be maintained
(An Bord Altranais 2005)
Domains of Competence Five Domains:
1. Professional/Ethical practice2. Holistic Approaches to Care and the Integration of Knowledge3. Interpersonal Relationships4. Organisation and Management of Care5. Personal and Professional Development
All five domains represent the exit criteria for registration
Further sub-divided into performance criteria and indicators
