Continuing Professional Development: Utilizing Competency-Based Education and the American Nurses Credentialing
Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing
|March 6, 2019
Summary
This article explains how to use a competency-based education framework for designing and evaluating continuing education for healthcare professionals. This approach ensures learning outcomes are met and professional development is effective.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Professional Development
- Health Professions Education
- Competency-Based Education
Background:
- Continuing education is essential for healthcare professionals.
- Traditional continuing education may not always align with measurable outcomes.
- A structured framework is needed for effective program design and evaluation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a competency-based education framework for designing continuing education.
- To provide a methodology for evaluating outcome-based continuing education.
- To guide nurse planners and professional development practitioners in enhancing learning experiences.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing a competency-based education framework.
- Applying principles of outcome-based education design.
- Developing strategies for evaluating learning and professional development.
Main Results:
- A clear methodology for designing and evaluating continuing education using a competency-based framework.
- Enhanced ability for nurse planners to create targeted and effective professional development programs.
- Improved evaluation of learning outcomes in continuing education.
Conclusions:
- Competency-based education provides a robust framework for continuing education in healthcare.
- This methodology facilitates the design and evaluation of outcome-based learning.
- Healthcare organizations can improve professional development by adopting this approach.

01:22The Professional Nurse
6.5K
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

01:25Continuing Care
1.9K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

01:28Continuity Equation
3.3K
The continuity equation asserts that the mass flow rate must remain constant for a steady flow of an incompressible fluid within a confined system. This principle applies to systems where fluid passes through varying cross-sectional areas, such as nozzles, syringes, and pipes.
The mass flow rate is expressed as:
The mass flow rate is expressed as:

01:20Continuity Equation
1.5K
The total amount of current flowing per unit cross-sectional area is called the current density. Hence, the current passing through a cross-sectional area can be written as the surface integral of the current density.

01:12Equation of Continuity
11.1K
Fluid motion is represented by either velocity vectors or streamlines. The volume of a fluid flowing past a given location through an area during a period of time is called the flow rate Q, or more precisely, the volume flow rate. Flow rate and velocity are related—for instance, a river has a greater flow rate if the velocity of the water in it is greater. However, the flow rate also depends on the size and shape of the river. The relationship between flow rate (Q) and average speed (v)...
