摘要

This issue of Critical Care Nurse is devoted to the theme of "Enhancing Clinical Competency," an important and pivotal element in providing optimal care for critically ill patients and-as one paper in this issue1 so clearly describes-in affording an optimal work environment for critical care nurses. Verifying, ensuring, and developing the competency of health care staff represent concerns acknowledged for many years now by virtually all categories of critical care nurses, including administrators, managers, clinical nurse specialists, staff development and academic educators, preceptors, and other staff nurses.
