Abstract

This study aimed to shed light on general core competencies among nursing education leaders. Although these competencies have been identified by international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and National League for Nursing (NLN), the rapidly changing healthcare environment means they should be reviewed regularly. In addition, specific aspects of nursing education leaders’ competencies in different fields (e.g., academic and clinical education) should be highlighted to ensure consistency in nursing education outcomes.This study focused on nursing educators’ competencies. The results may support efforts to improve their competence and inform development of a framework for their scope-related functions. In turn, this may provide a clear guide for their professional development.For nursing students, this study may contribute to improving nursing entry competencies and ensuring students are more ready for practice when they graduate and begin their professional career. Through such contributions, this study may also lead to improved quality of care for patients.
