Background: Emergency nurses' vital duties necessitate a broad range of abilities, or competence. The desire to display potential personality traits that can be helpful in particular circumstances is a component of competence. Aim : Evaluate emergency nurses' fundamental skills in caring for critically ill patients in the ED. Methodology : Design: The Emergency Department of the Jeddah Hospital in Saudi Arabia used a descriptive study design. Subjects: To directly care for critically ill patients, 210 emergency nurses were selected using convenience sampling. Tools: three instruments were employed in the research: 1. Emergency nurses' fundamental clinical knowledge and skill sets. 2. Emergency nurses' fundamental abilities in collaboration and communication. 3. Emergency nurses' core competencies include research, organization awareness, professional development, and quality improvement.The findings indicate that among the core competencies of emergency nurses, teamwork and collaboration were the most highly rated, followed by communication skills, professional development, and neurological competence (87.52, 83.26, 81.79, 81.71, 81.68, 80.22, and 79.95, respectively). Research competency received the lowest score (20.71%). Additionally, the nurses under study had high total competency levels (78.05). In conclusion, competency can serve as the basis for assessing the performance of crucial nurses. A key instrument for assessing nurses' performance and patient satisfaction is core competency.
