NR 351 Week 1 Discussion 1, Nurse of the Future Nursing Core Competencies
Now that you have examined the Nurse of the Future Nursing Core Competencies, why do you
think that these competencies were selected? Which 2 of the 10 competencies will be most
important to your future nursing practice and why?
These competencies were selected by the Competency Committee of the Nurse of the Future
Nursing Core Competencies (NOFNCC) Joint Working Group as a “set of assumptions to serve
as a framework for its work and as guiding principles for the design of a competency-based
education and practice partnership model” (Massachusetts Department of Higher Education,
2010, p. 3). This model would integrate patient safety, patient care, curriculum models for
differing levels of practice, define the roles of nurses within the work setting and be relevant in
all stages of care amongst all patient populations. This model ensured “the nurses of the future
will be proficient in a core set of competencies” (Massachusetts Department of Higher
Education, 2010, p. 4). The integration of these competencies ensured there was a transition from
one nursing program to the next (LPN to RN to BSN) differentiating levels of competency. This
was done in hopes to inspire students in continuing their education. Incorporation of
competencies into the workplace helped nurses move from the classroom into practice
proficiently using all skills learned for their specific educational level. This better coordinated
nurse’s training/orientation in practice. The NOFNCC model created a “common language that
further facilitates integration in both academic and practice setting.” (Massachusetts Action
Coalition, 2014, p. 3)
The two nursing competencies that are most important to my future nursing practice would be
Patient-Center Care and Communication. According to Massachusetts Department of Higher
Education, the Nurse of the Future will provide:
Patient-Center Care “that recognizes an individual’s preference, values and needs, and
respects the patient as a full partner in providing compassionate, coordinated, age and
culturally appropriate, safe and effective care.” (p. 9)
Communication “effectively with patients, families and colleagues, fostering mutual
respect and shared decision making, to enhance patient satisfaction and health
outcomes.” (p. 27)
Nurses spend significantly more time at the bedside with patients and have the reputation of
being honest and true. Too many times have doctors left patient rooms and upon my return, I was
expected to answer questions patients didn’t ask the doctors. Patients need to feel that they can
trust the nurse in their most vulnerable state of mental stress and/or physical illness. I pride
myself on being an honest and true person in all facets of life. This week’s lesson discussed time
management as a nurse. I never clock out of work without being assured that I’ve addressed all
patient issues or directed them to someone who can. I dedicate time in my work schedule just to
talk with my patients. I meet my patient’s needs on their level and have no problem explaining
my actions. From my experience in the field, most patients are scared. Some have no idea what
their diagnosis means or what they’re prescribed certain medications for. I pride myself on
listening to my patients and being forthcoming with information. I have dedicated my life to
caring which means that my patient’s needs and concerns will always be a priority to me. All my
patients are treated with respect and dignity same as I would want myself or my family treated
