19. Carrying out Responsibilities and Showing Initiative  The fastest way to be dismissed from clinical and possibly even from the nursing program is to jeopardize patient safety.  Performance appraisals are also used to decide if a student should be dismissed.

20. Dismissal for Unacceptable Clinical Behavior Policy  Examples of unacceptable clinical behavior include, but are not limited to:  Refusal to care for an assigned patient based on patient characteristics such as race, culture, religious beliefs, or diagnosis

21. Clinical Evaluations  There are links between performance evaluation, professional growth and development, and the rewards of providing excellent care.  Faculty and students give feedback to each other in order to evaluate the student’s performance, professional growth, and development.  The focus is on behaviors and skills.

22. Clinical Evaluations:  Formative  Summative

23. Formative Evaluations  Start out each term by reviewing specific clinical objectives that you will need to meet in order to complete the course.  It is very important for you to be aware of what is expected of you.  Then, on a weekly formative basis, you and your faculty will jointly select experiences to meet those objectives.

24. Summative Evaluations  Each clinical course also entails summative evaluations.  Usually at midterm and at the end of the term.

25. Basic principles of receiving an evaluation  1. View all your constructive criticism feedback as having been given with helpful intent.  2. Listen to your faculty’s perspective and avoid excuses.  3. Ask for clarification and ask for examples of the inappropriate behavior.  4. Check with your clinical faculty for mutual understanding.  5. Ask for help and support in the areas of future growth.

26. Making Mistakes  Keep in mind that everyone makes mistakes because no one is perfect  Honesty and integrity are paramount to safe and effective nursing care.  A student coveting up mistakes is acting unethically because it is dishonest  Don’t beat yourself up about mistakes publicly or privately. It is unhealthy to engage in self-recrimination

27. Summary  You alone must take responsibility for your own development  You must seek out learning experiences to develop yourself in ways that support the achievement of outstanding nursing care

28. CHAPTER SUMMARY  You alone must take responsibility for your own development.  You must seek out learning experiences to develop yourself in ways that support the achievement of outstanding nursing care.
