The guidance for the assessment of proficiencies for pre-registered nurses, has been created by stakeholders across;

practice (Practice Education Facilitators)
nursing educators (across fields of nursing)
nursing students

The purpose of the guidance is to support nursing students and their practice assessors and supervisors during the nursing assessment period on placements.

The guidance offers suggestive actions to support evidence of completion of each specific proficiency, across the three parts. It should be noted by all users of this guidance, that the student nurse does not need to demonstrate all the suggestive actions in order to meet the proficiency, these should be utilised as suggestions. In addition, the document provides links to eLearning opportunities for nursing students, to support their learning, increase knowledge and support evidence of meeting the proficiency.

See the Practice Learning pages for more resources and support.
