Analysis emphasizes the role of Benner’s theory in guiding skill acquisition for novice nurses, highlighting an experience-based approach.
In today’s turbulent healthcare landscape, nursing education is not merely the transfer of information; rather, it is a dynamic and multidimensional process that requires clear, descriptive, practical, and human-centered models [1]. Nursing theorists have played a significant role in shaping nursing education and practice, helping educators and nursing leaders better understand and guide the skill acquisition and transition process of novice nurses [2, 3]. Among these, Patricia Benner’s experience-based transformational theory, titled “From Novice to Expert”, offers a fundamental and revolutionary approach to nursing education and development [4, 5].
