In order to improve nursing competence, there have been some efforts made by nursing education institutions in Indonesia.

Methodology: This research applied developmental research method, planning, conducting and reporting the results. The research data were the result of in depth-interview with 3 senior nurse managers of 3 hospitals, FGD with nursing students and nursing clinical competency assessors concerning required nursing clinical competencies and the results of the needs analysis were taken as a basis for constructing a training module for improving quality of nursing clinical competence applying developmental research design. Results: The results of FGD revealed that 8 nursing competency domains need to be well comprehended by nursing graduates covering 32 major clinical competencies. From the needs analysis, a training module for improving nursing clinical competency was arranged and developed to meet requirements as stated in needs analysis. The designed module has proved to be effective in improving clinical competency of nursing graduates as observed in simulation assessment model.
