Nurses: Graduate | Essential Genetic and Genomic Competencies for Nurses with Graduate Degrees © 2012 This document provides the essential genetic and genomic competencies for nurses prepared at the graduate level. These competencies apply to any graduate level nurse including but not limited to advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), clinical nurse leaders, nurse educators, nurse administrators, and nurse scientists.
