Competence includes the desire to show prospective personality traits that can be advantageous in specific situations. Aim: Assess emergency nurses’ core competencies in the management of critically ill patients in the emergency department. Subjects and Method: Design: A descriptive research design was conducted in the Emergency Department of General Qena Hospital and Emergency University Hospital, Egypt. Subjects: A convenience sampling of 70 emergency nurses was recruited to provide direct care for critically ill patients. Tools: three tools used in the study: 1. Core competences of clinical skills and knowledge for emergency nurses. 2. Core competences of communication and teamwork skills for emergency nurses. 3. Core competences of professional development, organization awareness, research, and quality improvement for emergency nurses. Results: The emergency nurses’ core competencies during respiratory care were 75.14% from General Qena Hospital and 80.36% from the emergency University Hospital. The emergency nurses' core competencies in cardiovascular care were 71.45% from General Qena Hospital and 88.36% from Emergency University Hospital. There were statistically significant differences among the studied nurses from both hospitals in the majority of items. The levels of core competence criteria for emergency nurses were 45.7% in the general Qena hospital but 17.1% in the emergency university hospital. However, the level of core competencies for emergency nurses was good at 45.7% in the general Qena hospital and 80% in the Emergency University Hospital.
