There are two areas of concern in regard to Joe in the clinical setting. The first concern is in regard to his two clinical absences in the first few weeks of clinical. This rotation has the holiday break and OB rotation so it is imperative that he attend in order to meet the level objectives. He is aware the absences will be reflected in his mid-evaluation.
Secondly, Joe is not preparing for clinical appropriate to level. His clinical prep sheet is often lacking in the pathophysiology section as well as nursing interventions. He has been counseled in regards to this deficiency. Another concern is that is is unsure and has difficulty articulating the information when questioned in clinical. This area of weakness will also be reflected in his mid-evaluation.
