Summary > Progress Report. Core Competencies Updated for Registered Nurses in Massachusetts. Nearly six years after the publication of the Nurse of the Future Nursing Core Competencies. The competencies still represent the minimum expectations for all nurses as they complete their pre- licensure education. As nursing education and practice continue to evolve in response to the needs of patients and the health care environment, these competencies will require ongoing review and evaluation to ensure that they continue to define the expectations for entry into nursing practice. Due to technical problems, the webinar was recorded again before posting it for those who were unable to attend or would like to access the resource another time.

Five years after the publication of the Nurse of the Future Nursing Core Competencies.
Adapted from the RN- focused NOFNCC, the Nurse of the Future Nursing Core Competencies. The MA NOFNCC- LPN were created by a task force convened by the Practical Nurse Educator Council of the Massachusetts and Rhode Island League for Nursing. The group has been working with the Nurse of the Future Working Group who originally developed the RN competencies. This work aligns with the priorities of the Massachusetts Action Coalition (MAAC) efforts to promote the use of competencies in all academic and practice settings throughout the state. With the MA Department of Higher Education and the Organization of Nurse Leaders of MA & RI as co- leaders, the MAAC is engaging health care providers, nurse educators, and public sector leaders to affect and support changes in how nurses are educated, trained, and practice in order to better serve the health care needs of the Commonwealth. In developing the competencies, the task force reviewed and incorporated current practice standards, national and state- specific models, education accreditation standards, and projected patient demographic and healthcare profiles for Massachusetts. Extensive feedback was gathered from a variety of sources, including surveys and meetings with nursing education faculty, clinical practice partners, and nurse leaders from a variety of healthcare organizations.
Core Competencies for Licensed Practical Nurses in Massachusetts. As with the MA NOFNCC- RN, each of the core competencies is broken down into three specific areas - - essential knowledge, attitudes and behaviors, and skills . The order of the competencies does not indicate any hierarchy, as all the competencies are of equal importance. The core competencies for the LPN of the Future are: Patient and Family- Centered Care: provide holistic care that recognizes the individual. Includes problem solving, accountability, delegation, courage. Systems- Based Practice: demonstrate an awareness of and responsiveness to the larger context of the health care system, and will demonstrate the ability to effectively call on microsystem resources to provide care that is of optimal quality and value.
Informatics and Technology: use information and technology to communicate, manage knowledge, mitigate error, and support decision- making. Teamwork and Collaboration: function effectively within nursing and the interdisciplinary health care teams, fostering open communication, mutual respect, shared decision making, team learning and development (Adapted from QSEN, 2. Quality Improvement: collect data to monitor the outcomes of care and use data to continuously improve the quality and safety of health care systems. Download the Brief.

The Nursing and Allied Health Initiative addresses the evolving education and workforce development needs of the health care sector, driven by health care reform and the demographics of the workforce.
The FY1. 5 cycle of grants has several focus areas that reflect the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine. This grant will support their project for a Collaborative Post- Baccalaureate Nurse Residency Program. The project will develop and implement a residency program focused on nursing management of the older adult transitioning along the continuum of care. Precepted clinical experience in both acute and long term care settings will fill a gap in new nurses.
This grant will support Academic- Practice Partnerships developing a model to encourage incumbent nurses to advance their education inclusive of increasing diversity workforce addressing social, cultural, racial, gender, and disability. The project will focus on building a strong Support Model, addressing the factors that aid in student success and a Model Achieving Workforce Equity to be used to inform the development of a workforce diversity plan. It will incorporate best practices with a focus on removing barriers and facilitating academic progression, to support incumbent associate degree credentialed nurses to obtain their BSN. The grant award shown is a maximum amount for all three phases of the project.
Initially, funding will be released for Phase 1 and other payments will be contingent on the findings of Phase 1 which will determine the need for Phases 2 and 3. The grant will support a project entitled, The Clinical Preceptorship Model: Is It Time for Change in Approach?
