clarifies the acquisition of skills by creating emphasis on
experience as well as the knowledge which is gained through
experience.
 The article also explains the application and role of Benner’s

Novice
 At this stage, the nurse practitioner is a beginner with no experience
and is taught the general rules to help carry out tasks.
 The novice lacks confidence to demonstrate safe practice and
requires continuous verbal and physical cues to mange their patients.
 At this stage the nurse practitioners do not have the ability to predict
what will happen to the patient or even identify the same signs and
symptoms in other patients.
 Oshvandi et al. (2016) argue that at this stage, the useful tools of
training like simulators should be employed so as to equip nurses
with the required skills.
 The rules employed at this stage are context-free, universally applied
and are independent of specific cases so as to enable the nursing
practitioner to gain more experience (Oshvandi et al., 2016).
