Nursing Skills Checklist
Nurse RN/LPN
Instructions: Review the skills list and indicate your current competence with each skill by checking the appropriate response. Any skills you have never done or which you can not perform accurately should be identified. Those skilled procedures will be reviewed and learning experiences provided as available. You will be checked off on each of these skills by a home health care nurse.
Please Note: New nurse employees may be asked to demonstrate skilled performance at the discretion of the trainer even when current skill competency has been indicated by the new employee
