Week 7: Post TANIC Self-Assessment and Reflection

The self-assessment is completed using the TIGER-based Assessment of Nursing Informatics Competencies (TANIC) tool.

The graded self-evaluation of your informatics competencies is required in order to increase one’s own understanding of competencies in nursing informatics which will enable the planning of strategies to enhance knowledge and skills.

These websites are not considered scholarly as anyone can add to these. Please be aware that .com websites can vary in scholarship and quality.

Ask your instructor before using any site if you are unsure. Points will be deducted from the rubric if the site does not demonstrate scholarship or quality. Current outside scholarly sources must be published with the last 5 years. Instructor permission must be obtained BEFORE the assignment is due if using a source that is older than 5 years.
