Abstract
A national consensus panel representing 48 nursing organizations, including the American Psychiatric Nurses Association, identified and endorsed essential genetic and genomic competencies for all registered nurses regardless of academic preparation, role, or clinical specialty. The competencies were designed to guide academic curricula, continuing education, and specialty certification. A 5-year implementation plan for these competencies includes components applicable to practicing psychiatric nurses, regulatory and quality control issues, and academics. This article will describe the implementation strategies identified, some examples of genetics and genomics nursing activities in the psychiatric specialty, and recommendations that support the national implementation plan. J Am Psychiatr Nurses Assoc, 2008; 14(1), 63-68. DOI: 10.1177/1078390307311974.
