  8. Continuing Education and Competency • Assurance of competence is the shared responsibility of the profession, individual nurses, regulatory bodies, employers, and other key stakeholders. • The public has a right to expect nurses to demonstrate competence in their practice (Safety, Quality, NCSBN Strategic Plan) • National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) 2005 Continued Competence Concept Paper, 2007 Mid Year recommendations • Experience may be the best indicator • 28 SBN have CE requirement for license renewal • CE is the tip of the iceberg • SBN is charged with Public Safety • 4 states require practice hours, 6 have combined CE and practice hours, 9 states provide options (peer review, reflective practice) • 9 states have no continued competency requirements.

  9. CONTINUED COMPETENCE • External Stakeholders who identified a need: IOM, CAC, NLN, PEW, JCAHO, ICN, President’s advisory commission on consumer protection and quality. • No data to support current methods are effective. • Need for evidence based continued competence methodology • NCSBN is the leader and premier organization poised to measure competence and create uniformity across the states

  10. Justice and the Allocation of Scarce Nursing Education Resources-Faculty • Case Study: After reviewing a School of Nursing, the education advisor determined that the school had two instructors with BSN preparation who were teaching classes that they did not have clinical expertise or graduate educational preparation. The director of the program stated that she had to cap her admissions to the BSN program because she could not find enough faculty to teach in the classroom and to teach in the clinical area at a 8:1 student to faculty ratio. • What should the education advisor do?
