Assessing nurse graduate leadership outcomes: the "typical day" format.
Readiness for professional nursing practice in the current diverse and complex healthcare environment requires leadership capabilities. Faculty are challenged to identify specific leadership capabilities needed by graduate nurses upon entry into professional practice and to develop models from which they can accurately and authentically assess their demonstration. This article presents the development and implementation of an innovative leadership outcome assessment model. The model was developed in collaboration with nurse practice leaders and uses nurse practice leaders as external assessors and a "typical day" in nursing practice format.
