The performance appraisal as a developmental tool.
This article describes the key components and outcomes of a performance appraisal tool designed to measure and support the development of registered nurses. The tool is organized by the domains of nursing and based on the novice-to-expert framework. Core competency statements reflect required nursing behaviors. Skill acquisition level descriptors support identification of individual's level of practice. Self-evaluation, developmental goals, and specific evaluator feedback help registered nurses focus their development.
