A performance-based development system.
Team efforts by nurse educators and nurse administrators resulted in modification of the orientation process to better accommodate part-time nurses. Use of the Performance Base Development System (PBDS) was initiated and scheduling flexibility was introduced as a "Med-Plus" program. Over 30 nurses have had acceptable assessments and became valuable members of the staff. Not all problems involving part-time nurses have been solved, but those related to documentation of performance ability have been addressed effectively.
