Four Domains of Nursing Paradigm
Client/ Person
“The person is a self-interpreting being, that is the person does not come into
the world predefined but gets defined in the course of living a life.”- Dr. Benner
Health
Dr. Benner focuses on the lived experience of being healthy and being ill.
Health is defined as what can be assessed, whereas well being is the human
experience of health or wholeness.
Well being and being ill are understood as distinct ways of being in the world
Environment/ Situation
Benner uses situation rather than environment because situation conveys a
social environment with social definition and meanifulness.
“To be situated implies that one has a past, present, and future and that all of
these aspects….influence the current situation.”- Dr. Benner
Nursing
Nursing is described as a caring relationship, an “enabling condition of
connection and concern.” -Dr. Benner
“Caring is primary because caring sets up the possibility of giving and receiving
help.”
Nursing is viewed as a caring practice whose science is guided by the moral art
and ethics of care and responsibility.

Patricia Benner Nursing Theory: From Novice to Expert
The Patricia Benner nursing theory of Skill Acquisition in Nursing or the “from Novice to
Expert model” developed based on the study of the acquisition and development of
skills by chess players and airline pilots in emergency situations. As the individual
progress through these levels, they demonstrate changes using concrete experiences.
Second, they move from analytic, rule based thinking to intuition. Third, the learner’s
perception changes from a situation composed of equally relevant parts to a complex
whole in which certain parts are more relevant than others. Fourth, they move from a
detached observer to an actively involved performer.
Levels of Nursing Experience
Stage 1: Novice
Beginners have had no experience of the situations in which they are expected to
perform. Novices are taught rules to help them perform. The rules are context-free and
independent of specific cases; hence the rules tend to be applied universally. The rule-

governed behavior typical of the novice is extremely limited and inflexible. As such,
novices have no “life experience” in the application of rules.
“Just tell me what I need to do and I’ll do it”
Stage 2: Advanced Beginner
Advanced Beginner is those who can demonstrate marginally acceptable performance,
those who have coped with enough real situations to note, or to have pointed out to
them by a mentor, the recurring meaningful situational components. These components
require prior experience in actual situations for recognition. Principles to guide actions
begin to be formulated. The principles are based on experience.
Stage 3: Competent
Competence, typified by the nurse who has been on the job in the same or similar
situations two or three years, develops when the nurse begins to see his or her actions
in terms of long-range goals or plans of which he or she is consciously aware. For the
competent nurse, a plan establishes a perspective, and the plan is based on
considerable conscious, abstract, analytic, contemplation of the problem, The
Conscious, deliberate planning that is characteristic of this skill levels help achieve
efficiency and organization. The competent nurse lacks the speed and flexibility of the
proficient nurse but does have a feeling of mastery and the ability to cope with and
manage the many contingencies of clinical nursing. The competent person does not yet
have enough experience to recognize a situation in terms of an overall picture or in
terms of which aspects are most salient, most important.
Stage 4: Proficient
The proficient performer perceives situations as whole rather than in terms of chopped
up parts or aspects, and performance is guided by maxims. Proficient nurses understand

a situation as a whole because they perceive its meaning in terms of long term goals.
The proficient nurse learns from experience what typical events to expect in a given
situation and how plans need to be modified in response to these events. The proficient
nurse can now recognize when the expected normal picture does not materialize. The
holistic understanding improves the proficient nurse’s decision making; it becomes less
labored because the nurse now has a perspective on which of the many existing
attributes and aspects in the present situation are the important ones.
Stage 5: The Expert
The expert performer no longer relies on an analytic principle (rule, guideline, and
maxim) to connect her or his understanding of the situation to an appropriate action.
The expert nurse, with an enormous background of experience, now has an intuitive
grasp of each situation and zeroes in the accurate region of the problem without
wasteful consideration of a large range of unfruitful, alternative diagnosis and solutions.
The expert operates from a deep understanding of the total situation.
