Abstract
A path model of clinical nurse competency was proposed in Thailand based on key variables that impact nursing. The path model was improved by adding a path from perception of student effort to perception of clinical learning environment. Data from a nursing program in the U.S. was applied to the improved Thailand path model. Results indicated that the path model was similar between the two countries. This provided a cross-cultural validation of the clinical competency path model. Research findings suggest further investigation of the negative relation between GPA and clinical competence.
