From Novice to Expert: Excellence and Power in Clinical Nursing Practice;

Winner of the 1984 American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Award in the Nursing Education and Nursing Research categories, this landmark work is a testimonial to the importance of nursing. Based on Dr. Benner's seminal research, From Novice to Expert uses the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition to explore how nurses progress in the development of expertise to explain the seven domains of nursing practice: helping, teaching-coaching, diagnostic and patient monitoring, effective management of rapidly changing situations, administering and monitoring therapeutic interventions and regimens, monitoring and ensuring the quality of health care practices, and organizational and work-role competencies.
