According to Benner's novice to expert model and the NCSBN, new graduate nurses would be expected to perform at a novice and/or advanced beginner level during their orientation on the nursing unit. They would require guidance and supervision, and their clinical skills may not be proficient yet. Over time and with experience, they would progress to higher levels of expertise. It is not expected that they would demonstrate competent care or formulation of actions without regard to assessment findings at this stage.
