Abstract

Assessing the competency of forensic nurses is an evolving area of management practice. This article presents a performance-based model for the assessment process. Examples of competency assessment activities that can measure psychomotor skills, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills are discussed, along with a sample competency for a selected skill. Evaluation strategies and their effectiveness are also analyzed.
