Requirements

Description of the Assignment

This assignment has two major parts. The first part is the development of a written summative evaluation using the required template for a learner who is successful, but still needs improvement in one of the identified competencies. The second part is the development of a written summative evaluation for a learner who is unsuccessful. For both parts of this assignment, the following three competencies are to be used.

Demonstration of quality nursing care

Demonstration of professional behavior

Demonstration of information from evidence-based practice literature

You may select ONE of the following practice settings:

For the clinical practice setting focusing on the role of a nurse professional development specialist, the learner's clinical competencies are being evaluated as part of a comprehensive orientation program.

For an academic setting focusing on the role of a clinical nurse educator, the learner is a student in an undergraduate nursing class that requires successful completion of the identified course clinical components.

For the selected practice setting, you are required to complete this assignment for one learner who has successfully demonstrated all required competencies, but has one competency that needs improvement AND one learner who has not successfully demonstrated all required competencies. Each competency must be evaluated regarding the knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to professional nursing practice of the competency, in the identified clinical/academic course setting.

Criteria for Content

This assignment consists of two required parts:

Part 1: Completion of the written Summative Performance Evaluation for one learner who is successfully demonstrating TWO of the required competencies but needs improvement in the third required competency.

Part 2: Completion of the written Summative Performance Evaluation for one learner who is unsuccessful in all two of the required competencies.

For each of the two learners, the written summative evaluation is completed using the Summative Performance Evaluation Form noted below. Specific fictional examples of learners' expected behavior or absence of behavior are to be provided in the Educator's Summative Assessment column in order to support the decision regarding satisfactory, improvement needed, or unsatisfactory. A comprehensive concluding statement must be provided that summarizes the decision. A separate Summative Performance Evaluation form must be completed for the satisfactory learner and for the unsatisfactory learner.
