Background: Distinguishing between nursing competency and education in clinical health care is multidimensional. The NYU Langone Health Nursing Education and Competency Algorithm (NE-CA) was developed to guide competency identification. Method: A qualitative study was conducted to elicit dialogue through focus groups to identify themes specifically related to use of the NE-CA. Results: The results of this qualitative research include four major themes: algorithm, competency, competency assessment process, and education. Conclusion: Findings from the focus groups support the application of the NE-CA by clinical nurse educators, professional registered nurses, and organizational stakeholders guiding competency and education.
