Nursing 111 Foundations of Nursing in Chronic Illness I
Clinical Evaluation Tool
The purpose of the weekly clinical performance evaluation tool is to provide feedback about achievement of the course outcomes and competencies and to assist the student to meet the standards of care for nurses in Oregon as outlined in the Nurse Practice Act.
Explanation of Rating Scale: (S) Satisfactory = Clinical performance is safe and student adequately demonstrates application of the nursing process/clinical judgment, required skills, and expected synthesis of learning appropriate to level in the program. Verified by direct instructor observation. (NI) Needs Improvement = Indicates that additional learning and attention to detail is required for a particular item or that the overall performance for the week is at a minimum level. The instructor will write an explanation of the rating on the comments page. (U) Unsatisfactory = Clinical performance is unsafe and inadequately demonstrates application of the nursing process/clinical judgment model, required skills, and expected synthesis of learning appropriate to level in the program. The instructor will write an explanation of the rating on the comments page. (NA) Not applicable = Particular item does not apply to the clinical performance. (NO) Not observed = Instructor did not observe or has no knowledge of the students performance of the activity. Students with a weekly grade of NI or U will be required to meet with their advisor and clinical instructor and discuss a plan for change in their behavior before their next clinical experience. Safety and legal/ethical concepts are considered critical to the profession and will be graded as NI or U if any violation occurs. If a student is assigned a U or NI for two weeks, the faculty will review the students clinical performance and consider the options of either placing the student on probation or dismissing from the program. In cases of potential failure, notification of the student by the instructor that she/he has been assigned a grade of U or NI for one week constitutes proper warning of the grade status. If a student is placed on probation and then receives a weekly grade of U, the faculty will review the students performance and determine whether or not the student will be dismissed from the program.

Week Instructor Comments (Include Date/Signature) 1 Jason, unfortunately I was unable to spend much time with you during this clinical rotation. However, that being said, you took it upon yourself to seek out opportunities to observe the RN in completing skills and caring for patients. I feel that you did perform safely in clinical and that you were able to ask questions from the nurses on the floor. Jenny Tausch RN MSN PCCN 1/18/2014 JV 2 I feel that this week I was able to spend more time observing you in the clinical setting. Each time I entered the unit, I found you emerged in some type of learning experience. You were seeking out opportunities to learn and asking the nurses questions regarding charting and patient care. I also sensed that you were becoming more comfortable in the clinical setting. Keep looking to learn and asking questions as this will only assist you in becoming a more competent confident student nurse. Jenny Tausch RN MSN PCCN 1/26/2014 JV 3 Jason, I can tell that you are paying attention to my feedback and making changes each week. It is obvious that you are making progress and beginning to put the pieces together. Remember this does come with time and the more you learn in lecture the easier this will become. Nice job on your assessments and interventions. Continue looking for ways to improve yourself and for new learning opportunities. Jenny Tausch RN MSN PCCN 2/2/2014 JV 4 It sounds like you had an exciting week, getting to see an LP and caring for a really sick patient. I think that you did well under the circumstance. You patient could not communicate with you, yet you were concerned about his comfort and ensured he was safe. These patients are so fascinating to me, as once his body begins to process the toxins he might clear up and become alert and oriented again. I feel that you care plan and patho paper was appropriate. Nice job this week, keep up the good work. Jenny Tausch RN MSN PCCN 2/8/2014 JV 5 Jason, you have such a great attitude when it comes to the clinical setting. I believe that you have had to start over more than once due to discharges and you are always willing to do the work. It is important to have that kind of attitude in nursing as we always face changes. You did trip up a little this clinical and I believe this was a good lesson for you, as now you understand just how easy it is to make a mistake. Take this as a learning event, and grow from it.
Jenny Tausch RN MSN PCCN 2/16/2014 JV 6 Jason, it seems like you had a good clinical experience this week. I feel that your care plan was appropriate and detailed. Your assessments are very good and organized. I made a comment on your patho paper, just something to think about for these types of patients in the future. Keep looking for opportunities to grow and new things to learn Jenny Tausch RN MSN PCCN 2/22/2014
JV 7 Jason, I love that you are so flexible and adaptable to changes in the clinical setting. I believe that you said "making lemonade" this is such a great attitude in nursing. You have a good attitude regarding change and are always willing to help others. I only hear good things from the nursing staff from you. Continue this way and you will do well as a nurse Jenny Tausch RN MSN PCCN 3/1/2014 JV 8 Jason, I feel that you are performing well in clinical and that you always have a good attitude. I did make a few comments on your care plan and patho paper just trying to help you tie things together. Jenny Tausch RN MSN PCCN 3/8/2014 JV 9 Jason, the staff on 3D were very pleased to have your help during this clinical rotation. This shows how much of a team player you are. I like that you catch yourself and can take responsibility for your actions. This is so important in nursing. You did great this term, good luck next term.
