Method of data collection and give knowledge To access the sample, the person responsible for distributing questionnaires and receiving them back from the sample group. The Data was used for data collection and analyzed using Varimax method for component analysis, principal factor extraction and orthogonal factor rotation. The results of the analysis of competency components of charge nurses at University Hospital included 3 components, and 30 indicators with cumulative of variance acconnted for 62.761%, 1) Leaderships and quality management 14 indicators with standardized factor loading ranking from 0.461-0.744. 2) Regarding work skills required in the 21st century had 10 indicators with standardized factor loading ranking from 0.465- 0.768. and 3) Nursing practice and professional ethics had 10 indicators with standardized factor loading ranking from 0.569 – 0.783.
