Seeking Help: How to Build a Comprehensive Competency Framework for Nurse Managers?

Dear Experts, can anyone help me get a sample Nurse Manager's Competency framework? I am currently in the process of developing a new competency framework for our middle-level nurse managers. We already have a clinical competency framework. It should address all levels of management, including leadership and management, motivation, decision-making and problem-solving, human resource management, staffing and scheduling, stress management, etc.

Thank you.

Understanding and Implementing a Competency Framework

Merely raising a competency framework is not sufficient. Each staff member should understand the definition of that competency. First, this framework should be understood by your leadership and then filtered down the line.

Defining and Explaining Competencies

The second thing is not just defining the requisite competencies for a particular position, but you also need to provide an elaborate explanation of those competencies.

Training for Competency Development

Thirdly, it is essential to train the staff to attain the respective competencies. Staff cannot acquire these competencies by themselves. Due to their past employment, they may fall somewhere between 5 to 8 on a scale of 10. However, is this level adequate for you? To elevate their level of a particular competency, you also need to provide training.

Using Indigenous Examples

Furthermore, you need to start generating home-grown or indigenous examples of situations where a particular staff member has exhibited the highest level of a specific competency. These examples will significantly contribute to instilling in the minds of the staff what competency entails.

If you require consultancy services on these matters, please discuss with your management, and we can work together.

Thanks,
