Applying the Novice-to-Expert Model to Infusion Nursing

Abstract

The novice-to-expert continuum serves as the basis for many development and advancement models. Consideration of the intent of the model, domains, and characteristics of practice, a foundation in reflective practice, and implications for educators are essential for successful implementation of a novice-to-expert model. An example of a long-standing novice-to-expert model and application of a novice-to-expert model to infusion nursing are discussed.
