The five stages are: (1) novice, (2) advanced beginner, (3) competent, (4) proficient, and (5) expert. Reflect on these stages, and respond to the following directions and questions: Describe your progression through these stages to the point at which you believe you are at this time. Give examples of your nurse practice at each stage. At what point did you feel you mastered one stage and moved on to the next stage? U2-DB Assuming that you are beyond the novice stage of skill acquisition, consider a time when you again became a novice. For example, you may believe yourself to be an expert in orthopedic nursing, but one day you are asked to float to a new unit where you are unfamiliar with the routines of that unit and the particular assessment and medications common to those types of patients. Part 1 How did you use your more advanced practices to step back into that novice nurse role? Did you have a preceptor assigned to you? What resources did you use? Part 2 If you are a preceptor to a novice nurse, how can you be effective in sharing your experience without being intimidating? What makes an ideal preceptor?
