Today was d-day. I got through my first review with flying colors. I just have to watch my P's and Q's more. Thank you Press Ganey and the Customer is always right piece of nursing life! Thank you for the advice and am appreciative all all your support.

i just had my first evaluation, after 7 months on the job. i was a little surprised because there were a few things that were mentioned that i was completely unaware of. and to bring it to my attention now has been useless because i am leaving in in a couple weeks (i'm an LPN, in an RN program, and i'm switching to full time school). i just wish my boss would have told me some of those things earlier so that i could have had a chance to show improvement. and now i feel as if i'm leaving with my co-workers thinking i am a certain type of employee, when that's not the case. also, these things DID affect my score, and yet were just being brought to my attention. i think it's a little unprofessional..

i feel like talking to my manager about it, but since i'm leaving, i don't think there really is any point.

I hope you read my post so you'll know how to handle this if it happens again. Nothing bothers me more than a manager who is unfair in doing these yearly evaluations. They don't know what they are doing.
