This clinical evaluation tool consists of Standards of Clinical Performance with behaviors reflecting the nursing process and Standards of Professional Performance with specific clinical behaviors appropriate to each. The behaviors have been derived from course objectives and ANA Standards of Clinical Nursing Practice. Evaluation of student progress is both formative and summative.
Formative evaluation is ongoing with periodic feedback from faculty.
The summative evaluation will be at the completion of the clinical rotation. To earn an above average grade, students must complete non-critical clinical activities that reflect scholarly investigation of nursing management issues. All Critical Behaviors are consistently met. At least 19 or more Critical Behaviors are consistently met. Choice of activity does not guarantee a grade.
