Abstract
The TIGER-based Assessment of Nursing Informatics Competencies (TANIC)© instrument represents an operationalized version of competencies first identified by the TIGER Initiative (Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform, 2017) as knowledge and skills that every practicing nurse should possess to provide care in today's technology-rich healthcare environment. It is a self -assessment tool comprised of competencies grouped into the following categories: basic computer skills, information literacy, and clinical information management. The developers of the tool thought it would be useful to have students enrolled in graduate nursing informatics courses self-assess their knowledge and skills in these areas with the idea that it would help to make them aware of these competencies and that self-assessment would provide information useful to guide self-development as well as guide course development.
