Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine how nurse managers evaluate the clinical performance of newly qualified staff nurses.
Method: This study used a cross sectional descriptive design with a convenient sample of 194 nurse mangers from various health care settings. Data were collected from March 1 to March 30 in 2005, 2006 and 2007. The health care settings were selected for this study because they had hired at least one graduate from two different nursing programs in D city (one 4-year college nursing program; a 3-year junior college nursing program). The nursing managers were asked to evaluate the newly qualified staff nurses’ clinical competence on 6 categories.
Results: The ’competence of coping with emergency situations’ and ’competence of evaluating patient’s condition’ were evaluated to be most highly unsatisfied by nursing mangers although these two areas were evaluated as the most important clinical performance.
Conclusion: The findings from this study may provide an important information in enhancing a nursing school curriculum.
