Abstract

Abstract:

With the development of Internet technology，micro-credentials，as an innovative competency-based and result-oriented education，are supplementary certification models. It is not only a flexible credentialing of nursing professional competencies，but also can promote the circulation of certificates. Micro-credentials can make up for the shortcomings of traditional education certification models and meet the continuing professional development of the nursing. We summarized the development of micro-credentials and its application in nursing，and further discussed its implications，in order to provide scientific evidence for promoting the application and development of micro-credentials in nursing.

Key words: Micro-Credentials, Nursing Care, Professional Competence, Assessment, Nursing Education
