A developmental evaluation process for nurses: enhancing professional excellence.
Healthcare organizations are challenged to provide an environment that enhances professional growth. Miami Valley Hospital responded by examining its evaluation system for clinical nurses and designing a developmental evaluation process. The result is an objective position description outlining global responsibilities of a nurse and a comprehensive, unit-specific assessment of performance. As nurses are guided and nurtured in their development, the opportunities for them to excel are unlimited.
