A quantitative pre-post intervention design was used to measure the perception of students at the beginning (T-1) and the end (T-2) of their program of study in nursing. Using Benner's domains of nursing practice, there was a significant difference in self-perception at the beginning and the end of the program. At the end of the program, the unit-based nurse expert rated the student's nursing practice higher on all domains, as compared to the student self-rating. The nursing practice competency of these students was quantified. It is interesting to note that self-rating at the end of the program of study were just below the midpoint of the scale. However, the scoring on a global item of how competent are you to begin practicing as a professional nurse was scored higher than any of the individual domains of practice. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
