Nursing
Clinical performance can be graded in two different ways. Letter grades are the most common, but some places choose to use the pass/fail technique instead. In that option, there is no letter grade given. The person being graded is simply told whether they have passed or failed the clinical examination. As a member of the committee, I would favor using the letter grades for clinical experiences. This provides much more feedback for the person taking the clinical examination, and a person who would clearly receive an A grade is not in the same league with a person who would barely pass with a low C. Or even a D. grade. It is necessary to note this, because both of those people passed, but yet they are not at all equal to one another. With that in mind, it would be inappropriate to simply tell both people that they passed, when there are many things one person needs to work on and significantly fewer things the other person needs to work on (Tyler, Gagne, & Scriven, 1967). Passing a clinical examination is important, but those who barely pass it will still need important instruction on how to improve. This is what is done in a clinical assessment, since the goal is to sum up how well the person is doing with what he or she is learning and how that information can and should be applied to a clinical setting. From that point, any problems the person has can be worked on, and a formative assessment of that work can be addressed as the person moves toward stronger abilities and a better understanding of any issues that need to be taken care of (Glickman, Gordon, & Ross-Gordon, 2009). Clinical assessments are great ways to determine what a person still needs to work on where his or her weaknesses are.
Educational regulation relates to the curriculum that can and should be taught in schools, and the information that has to go into a particular program in order for a degree or certificate to be awarded in that program. Accreditation, on the other hand, comes from…

However, in light of approaching accreditation review, the results of this year's testing must be responded to quickly. Therefore, a suitable time frame for curriculum development would be three months across the slowest enrollment quarter for Meadowvale. Presuming this would be concurrent with the summer months, the fall semester thereafter would correspond with a pilot period. Refinement and full implementation would following the spring semester. 5. Evaluation of acceptance and readiness
Nursing Shortage Review On Nurses Shortage The supply of professional nurses relative to the increase in demand for their services has been on a general decline over the years. As a career choice, nursing has been facing perennial shortage of professionals. Most healthcare organizations will affirm that their daunting tasks were recruiting fresh nurses and retaining the ones already in practice. The 2008 projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that
Indeed, this multicultural state of the nursing profession can be very profitably incorporated into one of the key tools that I would use in developing, assessing, and evaluating curricula. The concept of different learning styles has made considerable inroads in many American and other Western educational systems. This awareness helps to create systems of learning that allow as many students as possible to benefit from the same curriculum. When an
Nursing Theory Analysis Theory-based nursing is the phenomenon that has been researched much during the past two decades. Nursing theory has become the foundation for nursing practice with its own knowledge base. The current paper is an analysis of King's theory of goal attainment. King acquired her goal attainment theory model from an interpersonal system and a behavioral science. The nurse and patient communicate to achieve a common goal of patient
Nursing Knowledge Patterns of Knowing in Nursing There is a great abundance of information available to us in the universe. Every second, we are bombarded with thousands if not millions of tiny facts arriving through the unbidden working of our sensory organs, each of which is quietly and usually subconsciously processed by the brain; active study engages other parts of our grey matter, and quickly creates a store of facts and associations;
Nursing Theory Description of Importance of Nursing Theory Theories are composed of definitions, concepts, propositions, and models based on assumption. A theory serves as a group of related concepts guiding a professional practice. Nursing theory is a set of interrelated concepts, definitions, as well as statements explanatory proposing to understand nursing phenomena, assisting in predicting and explaining the nursing outcomes. Nursing theory is also a body of knowledge used to support a nursing
