Nineteen psychiatric nursing experts (nine clinical nurse practitioners and ten Nurse faculties of bachelor’s nursing (BSN) programs in technical and occupational educational system) participated in activities of 3-round questionnaires. The results included the situations frequently occurred in PIAW and expected practicing competencies of PIPW for graduates of BSN programs. The former includes 20 categories and 96 items; the latter includes 20 categories and 265 items. Of 265 practicing competencies, 220 items got consensus(83.0%). Of 220 items, 165 items (9 categories) were expected to have for BSN graduates and 55 items (17 categories) were expected to be strengthened while BSN graduates working in PIPW . In addition, a 7-point scale was used to check the opinions among 19 experts in terms of the degree of the frequent occurrence and the importance of the nursing situations identified, and the degree of the importance of expected practicing competencies for BSN graduates (7: the most frequently occurred, the most important; 1:the lest occurred, the lest important) . The situations frequently occurred were grouped into three: the most frequently occurred (scores of 6 and above), the frequently occurred (scores between3 and 6), and the lest frequently occurred (scores of 3 and under ). The importance of practicing competencies was also grouped into three: the most important (scores of 6 and above), the important (scores between 3 and6), and the lest important (scores of 3 and under). Analyzed data showed that (1) there are 44 situations (17 categories) occurred the most frequently, 31items (12 categories) occurred frequently and 3 items (3 categories) occurred the lest frequently, and (2) All of 220 practicing competencies expected were the most important.
