This ensures to promote professional nursing practice and enable the patient with an understanding if the nursing care is adequate. As well as providing guidelines to nurse researchers in identifying and monitoring the relationships between nursing practice and patient care outcomes.

According to Lillies et.a (2005) the process of self-evaluation of nursing practice include the quality of practice, education, professional practice evaluation, collegiality, collaboration with the patients and others, ethical provisions, research and resource utilization. The nursing standards are responsible for providing safe, competent and ethical care promoting the patient's health and well-being, choice, dignity, and confidentiality. Also the nurses take accountability for one's own actions promoting justice and quality practice environments. The nurses must realize that they have the ability to determine and express their own moral choices (Krockrow and Christensen, 2003). Nurses must promote the individuality of each person encouraging the patients to express their needs and values. Nurses must also protect each patient's confidentiality and dignity which if shared outside the professional relationship then only with the patient's consent. Nurses must provide the same level of equality and fairness to all patients in receiving health care service deriving social justice.
In conclusion, self-evaluation is an important process required by the nursing profession to establish proper care of the individuals. All standards of the nursing practice provide a guide for the nurse to enhance the decision-making, skills, knowledge and clinical experience needed to practice safely and ethically.

Introduction Performance scorecards provide a straightforward means of integrating metrics into a healthcare organization’s strategic planning.

Nursing Across Theories Nursing is a core concept that is common across contemporary nursing theories. Even though the definitions, applications, and philosophies are different with each theory, the concept of nursing plays a vital role in each one.

Learning in adults is most effectual when the environment is both participative and interactive. Another important characteristic is that learners obtain instantaneous feedback. Teaching methods that necessitate a learner to think though data or information and come to a conclusion or forecast an outcome are more valuable than is reading or lecture.
