Information for nurse involved in management, education, policy and research

The competencies also reflect the scope statement that some registered nurses use their nursing expertise to manage, teach, evaluate and research nursing practice.

Registered nurses, who are not practising in direct client care, are exempt from those competencies in domain two (management of nursing care) and domain three (interpersonal relationships) that apply only to clinical practice. There are specific competencies in these domains for nurses working in management, education, policy and/or research. Nurses who are assessed against these specific competencies are required to demonstrate how they contribute to practice.

Those practising in direct client care and in management, education, policy and/or research must meet both sets of competencies.
