Objectives The purpose of this study was to identify the education needs and priorities for emergency nursing competencies of newly employed emergency room nurses, with the aim of using the findings as foundational data for the development of an educational plan to enhance the emergency nursing competencies of newly employed emergency room nurses. Methods This study is descriptive survey research. Subjects were new nurses in emergency room working at re-gional emergency medical centers, local emergency medical centers and local emergency medical service in-stitutions at 26 institutions, and 110 people who understood the purpose of the study and agreed to participate in the study. The data collection period was from June 15 to July 31, 2023, conducted through an online survey through a QR code, and a total of 97 copies were used in the final analysis(88.2% collection rate). As a research tool, a structured self-report questionnaire was used and consisted of a total of 77 questions, including 9 general characteristics, 34 required competency level for emergency nursing competency, 34 perceived competency level for emergency nursing competency. The collected data were analyzed using frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, paired t-test, Borich's needs assesment, and The Locus for Focus Model. The priority items from Borich's formula for demand and the items in quadrant 1 of The Locus for Focus Model were examined to determine any redundancy and to establish the priority order of educational needs, distinguishing between top priority and secondary priority. Results The educational needs for reinforcing emergency nursing competencies of newly employed emergency room nurses revealed four top priority items out of 34 (Clinical indicators of deterioration in cardiovascular patient status, Seizure management, Ventilator management, Clinical indicators of deterioration in neurological patient status). Additionally, ten secondary priority items were identified. Conclusions This study identified four top priority items by analyzing the ranking of educational needs to strength-en the emergency nursing competency of new nurses in the emergency room. Accordingly, it is necessary to de-velop strategies for education on top priority items and long-term education on second priority items in order to strengthen the emergency nursing competency of new nurses in emergency rooms.
