NMC Standards for Pre-registration Nursing Education
This chapter will address issues within all four domains of the pre-registration nursing competencies but most significantly the following:
Domain 1: Professional Values
- All nurses must work in partnership with service users, carers, families, groups, communities and organisations. They must manage risk, and promote health and wellbeing while aiming to empower choices that promote self-care and safety.
Domain 3: Nursing Practice and Decision-making
- All nurses must ascertain and respond to the physical, social and psychological needs of people, groups and communities. They must then plan, deliver and evaluate safe, competent, person-centred care in partnership with them, paying special attention to changing health needs during different life stages, including progressive illness and death, loss and bereavement.
