Abstract

The article discusses the actual statement of the EDTNA/ERCA ITALIAN BRANCH related to Nephrology nursing advanced competences in the clinical setting, aiming at actively taking part to the national debate on the allocation of advanced nursing practice. Taking into account the ISFOL model as a definition of the work curricula proposed for the free circulation in both the EU and international areas, the model is elaborated to enhance healthcare core items and, more specifically, in the Nephrology nursing setting, starting from basic competences to healthcare, cross-sectional, and specific competences. The pathway moves from general to specific, defining 6 areas of Nephrology nursing interest (outpatients department, ward unit, peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, intensive care, and transplantation). For each area, nursing competences are listed (knowing, doing, being). The article is meant to be used as a guideline, benchmarking, and audit tool for the various national Nephrology nursing settings.
