They practise in collaboration with other healthcare professionals. They are accountable for their scope of practice including the supervision and delegation of nursing activities to the enrolled nurses and ancillary care staff. RNs may practise ina variety of clinical contexts depending on their education preparation and practice experience.  \nCore Competencies  \nThe Singapore Nursing Board’s Core Competencies for the Registered Nurse (RN) are a set of minimum standards of performance that define the requisite qualities , attributes and skills for a RN to practise in Singapore.  \nThese Core Competencies supplement the Code for Nurses and Midwives to define the minimum level of performance of a RN and is set at the entry to practice level.  \nThe Core Competencies are not setting specific; they are applicable to any practice setting.  \nThe Core Competencies set the foundation for RNs to maintain their competence and acquire additional competencies to deliver safe client care in response to changing healthcare needs and advancement in technology.  \nPurpose of Core Competencies  \n(1) Inform nurses on the minimum competencies required for RN practice.  \n(2) Direct pre-registration and post-registration nursing curriculum development and review.  \n(3) Guide the competency development and assessment of nursing students and newly graduated RNs.  \n(4) Assess the competencies of internationally qualified nurses seeking employment in Singapore.  \n(5) Assess nurses seeking re-registration.  \n(6) Evaluate nurses involved in professional disciplinary cases.  \nRelated Definitions  \nCore competencies: a standard set of performance domains and their corresponding behavioural standards which a nurse is required to demonstrate.  \nCompetency: the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes a nurse must possess in order to perform a set of defined activities to an expected standard.  \nCompetence: the ability of a nurse to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, judgement and attitudes required to perform activities within the defined scope of practice at an acceptable level of proficiency.  \nCompetent: being able to demonstrate the necessary ability, knowledge , skills and attitudes across the domains of competencies at a standard that is determined to be appropriate for that level at which a nurse is being assessed.  \nCore Competencies of Registered Nurse  \nA Registered Nurse (RN) is a healthcare provider who has completed a professional preregistration nursing programme accredited by the Singapore Nursing Board (SNB) or its equivalent, for the purpose of registration, or has been assessed to be competent to practise asa RN.  \nThe Core Competencies are organised into 4 domains. A domain is an organised cluster of competencies. Each domain has associated competency standards, with each standard representing a major function/functional area to be performed by a RN. Competency indicators represent sub-functions of a competency standard.  \nCompetence Domain 1: Legal and Ethical Nursing Practice  \nCompetence Domain 2: Professional Nursing Practice  \nCompetence Domain 3: Collaborative Practice and Teamwork  \nCompetence Domain 4: Continuing Professional Education and Development  \n\n| Domain |  | Competency Standard | Competency Indicators |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | Legal and Ethical Nursing Practice | 1.
