Recognition of expertise: An important concept in the acquisition of nephrology nursing expertise

Open access
Bonner, Ann·2003·Nursing & Health Sciences

Abstract

The present article, which is abstracted from a larger study into the acquisition and exercise of nephrology nursing expertise, aims to explore the concept of recognition of expertise. The study used grounded theory methodology and involved 17 registered nurses who were practising in a metropolitan renal unit in New South Wales, Australia. Concurrent data collection and analysis was undertaken, incorporating participant observations and interviews. According to nurses in this study, patients, doctors and other nurses recognized that some nurses were experts while others were not. In addition, being trusted, being a role model and teaching others were important components of being recognized as an expert nephrology nurse. Of importance for nursing, the results of the present study indicate that knowledge and experience are not sufficient to ensure expert practice; recognition of expertise by others is an important function of expertise acquisition.

  • The exercise of expertise is a function of the recognition of expertise by others.

    “the exercise of expertise is a function of the recognition of expertise by others”

    From The acquisition and exercise of nephrology nursing expertise: a grounded theory study (2006) · cites this paper as Bonner 2003

    The Recognition of expertise section and Conclusions say that nephrology nurses must be recognised by others as experts in order to practise as experts. The citing sentence captures that finding but states it about expertise generally, beyond the nephrology nursing setting studied. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
