Abstract

Distinguishing competency and education in clinical healthcare education is complex. The NYU Langone Health Nursing Education and Competency Algorithm (NE-CA) was developed as a tool for competency identification and sustainment. A mixed-methods design national research study was employed to evaluate the validity of the NE-CA. Findings of the study support the utilization of the NE-CA tool by expert clinical nurse educators, professional nurses, and organizations in structures and processes guiding competency in clinical education.
