Assisted living nurse competencies.

The Assisted Living (AL) nurse competencies article identifies the application of Benner's theoretical framework (novice to expert) and a sample structure for several key domains of nursing practice knowledge from the AL Nursing: A Manual for Management and Practice. On behalf of the American Assisted Living Nurse Association (AALNA), the co-authors seek feedback on the proposed structure for identifying important nurse competencies for the Assisted Living nurse community/facility leader.
