    • Starts to develop a sense of responsibility and accountability
    • Still relies heavily on rules and protocols, but begins to adapt to new situations

    Competent

    • Has a greater sense of confidence and competence in clinical decision-making
    • Can recognize and respond to complex clinical situations
    • Begins to develop a sense of prioritization and organization
    • Starts to anticipate and prevent complications
    • May still require some guidance, but is more independent in decision-making

    Proficient

    • Has a high level of confidence and competence in clinical decision-making
    • Can recognize and respond to highly complex and dynamic clinical situations
