STAGES OF NURSING EXPERTISE NURSING PHILOSOPHIES
Patricia Benner
45
In this stage of skill acquisition in the Dreyfus model, the person has no background experience of the situation in which he or she is involved. Contextfree rules and objective attributes must be given to guide performance. There is difficulty discerning between relevant and irrelevant aspects of a situation.

Novice
47
The _____ in the Dreyfus model develops when the person can demonstrate marginally acceptable performance, having coped with enough real situations to note, or to have pointed out by a mentor, the recurring meaningful components of the situation. This has enough experience to grasp aspects of the situation.
Advanced Beginner
48
Nurses functioning at this level are guided by rules and oriented by task completion. They have difficulty grasping the current patient situation in terms of the larger perspective, However, Dreyfus and Dreyfus (1996) state the following: Through practical experience in concrete situations with meaningful elements which neither the instructor nor student can define in terms of objective features, the advanced beginner starts intuitively to recognize these elements when they are present. We call these newly recognized elements 'situational' to distinguish them from the objective elements of the skill domain that the beginner can recognize prior to seeing concrete examples"
