Methods The core competency evaluation scale for nurses in Department of Cardiology was developed by literatures review and clinical situation. A total of 176 nurses in 5 class Ⅲ grade A hospitals in Shaanxi Province were selected by convenient sampling method and investigated anonymously. Results The choice rates of all alternatives were lower than 80%. One item was deleted because its coefficient of variation was less than 20%. Discrimination correlation coefficients were between 0.340 - 0.732. The content validity index was 0.928. Five factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, with the cumulative contribution of 67.6%. Five factors were expected. The factor analysis confirmatory showed that χ2/df=4.013, SRMR=0.051, RMSEA=0.062. The split half reliability was 0.842; Cronbach's alpha was 0.856, and the retest reliability was 0.908. Conclusions The core competency evaluation scale for nurses in department of cardiology has good validity and reliability which can be used to evaluate the core competency.
