Discussed with student on Monday, 11/1/2010 the need to correct clinical weaknesses as little to no improvement has been observed since mid-rotation evaluation. Specifically reviewed assessment skills, organizational skills, time management, accurate verbalization and written documentation of findings,and critical thinking skills. Discussed with student my observations regarding the lack of consistent clinical performance this semester (WBGH rotation) when compared to last semester during TCU rotation.  Linda has identified and verbalizes understanding of clincial weaknesses.

Substandard nursing care plan, despite multiple reviews and tutoring, was discussed with the student.  Student was advised of need to seek assistance prior to submitting final (2nd) nursing care plan required for this rotation.  

Student is aware of potential for failing this level without significant improvement during the rest of the rotation.
