Patricia Benner introduced the "Novice to Expert" nursing theory which describes 5 levels of nursing experience: novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert. At each level, nurses gain clinical experience and build on their knowledge and skills. Benner believed experience was key to developing nursing expertise through a combination of education and experiences over time. Her theory transformed understandings of nursing expertise.

PATRICIA BENNER INTRODUCTION Dr Patricia Benner introduced the concept that expert nurses develop skills and understanding of patient care over time through a sound educational base as well as a multitude of experiences. She proposed that one could gain knowledge and skills (knowing how) without ever learning the theory (knowing that). She further explains that the development of knowledge in applied disciplines such as medicine and nursing is composed of the extension of practical knowledge (know how) through research and the characterization and understanding of the know how of clinical experience. Dr. Benners Theory Nursing is categorized into 5 levels of capabilities: Novice, Advanced beginner, Competent, Proficient, and Expert. She believed experience in the clinical setting is key to nursing because it allows a nurse to continuously expand their knowledge base and to provide holistic, competent care to the patient. Her research was aimed at discovering if there were distinguishable, characteristic differences in the novices and experts descriptions of the same clinical incident. Four Domains of Nursing Paradigm Client/ Person The person is a self- interpreting being, that is the person does not come into the world predefined but gets defined in the course of living a life.- Dr. Benner Health Dr. Benner focuses on the lived experience of being healthy and being ill. Health is defined as what can be assessed, whereas well being is the human experience of health or wholeness. Well being and being ill are understood as distinct ways of being in the world. Environment/Situation Benner uses situation rather than environment because situation conveys a social environment with social definition and meaningfulness. To be situated implies that one has a past, present, and future and that all of these aspects.influence the current situation.- Dr. Benner Nursing Nursing is described as a caring relationship, an enabling condition of connection and concern. -Dr. Benner Caring is primary because caring sets up the possibility of giving and receiving help. Nursing is viewed as a caring practice whose science is guided by the moral art and ethics of care and responsibility. Dr. Benner understands that nursing practice as the care and study of the lived experience of health, illness, and disease and the relationships among the three elements. Nursing theory as a framework for practice Dr. Benner developed a concept known as From Novice to Expert. This concept explains that the nurse develop skills and an understanding of patient care over time from combination of a strong educational foundation and personal experiences. Dr. Benner proposed that the nurse could gain knowledge and skills without actually learning a theory. She describes this as knowing how without knowing that. Nursing theory as a framework for practice Dr. Benner explains that the development of knowledge in fields such as nursing is made up of extension of knowledge through research and understanding through clinical experience. Stages of Nursing Expertise Stage I: Novice The person has no background experience of the situation in which he/ or she is involved. They are taught general rules to help perform tasks, and their rule-governed behavior is limited and inflexible. Generally this level applies to nursing students. Stage II: Advanced Beginner Demonstrates marginally acceptable performance having coped with enough real situations to note, or to have pointed out by mentor, the recurring meaningful components of the situation. Nurses functioning at this level are guided by rules and oriented by task completion. Stage III: Competent It is the most pivotal in clinical learning because the learner must begin to recognize patterns and determine which elements of the situation warrant attention and which can be ignored. A competent nurse generally has two or three years experience on the job in the same field. These nurses are more aware of long term goals, and they gain perspective from planning their own actions, which helps them achieve greater efficiency and organization. Stage IV: Proficient Proficient nurse perceives and understands situations as a whole parts. Proficient level is a qualitative leap beyond the competent. Nurses at this level demonstrate a new ability to see changing relevance in a situation including the recognition and the implementation of skilled responses to the situation as is it evolves. Stage V: Expert It is achieved when the expert performer no longer relies on analytical principals to connect her or his understanding of the situation to an appropriate action. Their performance are fluid, flexible, and highly proficient. According to Dr. Benner that the nursing skills through experience are a prerequisite for becoming an expert nurse. Significance of the Theory These levels reflect movement from reliance on past abstract principles to the use of past concrete experience as paradigms and change in perception of situation as a complete whole in which certain parts are relevant Each step builds on the previous one as abstract principles are refined and expanded by experience and the learner gains clinical expertise. This theory changed the profession's understanding of what it means to be an expert, placing this designation not on the nurse with the most highly paid or most prestigious position, but on the nurse who provided "the most exquisite nursing care. It recognized that nursing was poorly served by the paradigm that called for all of nursing theory to be developed by researchers and scholars, but rather introduced the revolutionary notion that the practice itself could and should inform theory. Knowledge development in a practice discipline consists of extending practical knowledge (know-how) through theory based scientific investigations and through the clinical experience in the practice of that discipline (Benner, 1984) Changes in three general aspects of skilled performance: A movement from reliance on abstract principles to the use of past concrete experience as paradigms. A change in the learner's perception of the demand situation, in which the situation is seen less and less as a compilation of equally relevant bits, and more and more as a complete whole in which only certain parts are relevant. A passage from detached observation to involved performer. References Taylor, C.,et al, Fundamentals of Nursing Kozier, Erb, et.
