Backhaus, R. et al. (2015). Future distinguishing competencies of baccalaureate-educated registered nurses in nursing homes. Geriatric Nursing. Retrieved from http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gerinurse.2015.06.012
The article represents an expert consensus study that aimed at classifying competencies, which will help in distinguishing baccalaureate-educated registered nurses from the many nurse staffs who work in nursing homes. Apparently, this study was in light of the complexity of care needed by staffs admitted to the nursing homes. Experts agreed on 16 competencies, some that are not within the nursing expertise, for example, team leadership, role model and coaching. The article concludes that there is a need of revising the nursing curricula to meet the complex needs of the nursing home residents.
