Purpose: To study the competency of nursing school entrepreneurs.
Design: A descriptive research design using the Delphi technique was employed.
Methods: The informants consisted of 19 experts divided into three groups: five caregiving school entrepreneurs, five faculty members in education, and nine nurse entrepreneurs operating caregiving schools. Data were collected through interviews and three rounds of questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the median (Md) and interquartile range (IR).
Results: The experts reached consensus on the competencies of nurse entrepreneurs in caregiving schools. A total of nine competency domains comprising 55 items were identified: educational business management (4 items), educational business strategy (7 items), educational organizational administration (8 items), educational resource management (7 items), educational marketing mix management (5 items), interpersonal relationships (5 items), leadership and personal attributes (8 items), ethics, business law, and education-related laws (6 items), and integration of the nursing profession (5 items). All competency domains were rated from high to highest importance (Mdn = 4.60, IQR = 0.26–1.10).
Conclusion: The findings provide a framework for competency development, curriculum design, and the establishment of standards for nurse entrepreneurs operating caregiving schools in a quality-driven and sustainable manner.
