Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Professional Competency
  • Clinical Skills Development

Background:

  • New nurse graduates frequently face challenges in meeting the demands of competent, practice-ready registered nurse roles.
  • A gap exists in real-time assessment of essential skills crucial for nursing practice.
  • Ensuring clinical readiness is paramount for patient safety and effective healthcare delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and implementation of a clinical tracking document (CTD) at a college of nursing.
  • To outline how the CTD facilitates the tracking of student progress in core nursing competencies.
  • To enhance the preparedness of nursing students for professional practice.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a clinical tracking document (CTD) to monitor essential subbehavior actions.
  • Utilizing the CTD for real-time tracking of student performance.
  • Aligning the CTD with the four main competencies of the Creighton Competency Evaluation Instrument: assessment, communication, critical thinking, and safety.

Main Results:

  • The CTD provides a systematic method for monitoring student achievement of critical nursing competencies.
  • Real-time tracking allows for timely identification of areas needing improvement.
  • The document supports the development of practice-ready graduates.

Conclusions:

  • The clinical tracking document (CTD) is an effective tool for enhancing nursing student preparedness.
  • Implementing the CTD ensures graduates meet essential competencies for practice-ready registered nurse roles.
  • This innovative approach contributes to improving the quality of nursing education and workforce readiness.
