Nursing Evaluation

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

The Professional Nurse

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Background:

National directive for Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) nurses to obtain Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degrees.
Limited research exists on ADN nurses' perceptions of BSN education value.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore ADN nurses' perceptions of the immediate workplace usefulness of RN-to-BSN program content.
To identify specific benefits employers may gain from BSN-prepared nurses.

Main Methods:

Qualitative analysis of narrative data from 263 RN-BSN students in their final semester.
Students were asked about the application of their RN-BSN coursework in their current work.

Main Results:

Key themes identified include research and evidence-based practice, leadership, professionalism, communication, holistic caring, critical thinking, cultural competence, safety, quality improvement, interdisciplinarity, population-based care, and fiscal awareness.
Students perceive direct applicability of BSN coursework to their nursing practice.

Conclusions:

The study clarifies specific content within RN-to-BSN programs that students find immediately useful in the workplace.
Findings offer insights for employers regarding the tangible benefits of supporting ADN to BSN transitions.
