Nursing skills can be assessed through various methods:
Simulations: High-fidelity simulations provide a realistic environment where nurses can demonstrate their skills without risk to patients. Direct Observation: Preceptors or supervisors observe nurses in clinical settings to evaluate their performance. Written Tests: These assess theoretical knowledge and critical thinking abilities. Peer Reviews: Feedback from colleagues can provide valuable insights into a nurse's competencies. Self-Assessments: Encouraging nurses to reflect on their own skills and identify areas for improvement.
