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.

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Clinical Practice Readiness
Healthcare Workforce Development

Background:

Investigated factors influencing nursing students' readiness for practice.
Explored the impact of belongingness, self-efficacy, and clinical support.
Examined demographic and program differences in nursing education.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the influence of belongingness, self-efficacy, and clinical learning support on readiness for nursing practice.
To explore the role of demographic factors and nursing program differences in practice readiness.
To provide evidence-based recommendations for enhancing nursing student preparedness.

Main Methods:

Quantitative, descriptive study design.
Survey administered to undergraduate prelicensure senior nursing students nationwide.
Statistical analyses including descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression.

Main Results:

Students in Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs reported higher readiness scores than associate degree program students (p < .01).
Fewer clinical hours (≤400) and single preceptor assignments correlated with higher scores (p < .01, p < .05).
Self-efficacy and learning support explained 47.9% of the variance in practice readiness (p < .05).

Conclusions:

Clinical experiences significantly shape nursing students' readiness for practice.
Recommendations include optimizing clinical hours and preceptor assignments.
Enhancing student support systems is crucial for improving practice readiness.
