Competency validation for nursing licensure is an evolving regulatory issue in Kentucky. Societal and professional forces are driving the shift from mandatory continuing education requirements for relicensure to a competency-based evaluation paradigm. The Kentucky Board of Nursing has issued a working position paper, Accountability and Responsibility of Licensees to Assure Nursing Competence (October 1997), as the basis for a dialogue about shaping Kentucky nursing regulation in the twenty-first century. While the position paper explores new models for both initial and continuing licensure requirements, this article focuses on continued competence issue.
护理执照的能力验证在肯塔基州是一个不断发展的监管问题。社会和专业力量正在推动从再注册的强制性继续教育要求向基于能力的评估模式转变。肯塔基州护理委员会发布了一份工作立场文件《持照者确保护理能力的问责与责任》（1997年10月），作为关于塑造21世纪肯塔基州护理监管对话的基础。虽然该立场文件探讨了初始和持续执照要求的新模式，但本文重点关注持续能力问题。
