Hi guys; thanks for the information. Tollofson sounds to be undergraduate competencies?? I am looking more for the postgraduate type of "extra" competencies. I will try the scholar search on google - did not know about it. Thanks. :)

Hi all, I am new to the forum.:) I am interested in the subject of competencies/clinical skills, and am doing a short project on them. I have been doing some netsurfing, but not having much luck finding what I am specifically looking for. So far, all the information I have found has been about generalised competence to practise once a nurse is registered. What I am interested in are "extra", practical stuff, like learning venepuncture and IV cannulation, ALS skills, peri-suturing. The kind of skills that a nurse learns as s/he progresses from novice to experienced. Any thoughts on where I can find more information about these sort of clinical skills? I appreciate any help people feel able to give me. :)
