Performance Evaluation Goals??

No student deaths or permanent disabilities during the school year...excellent goal.

Seriously! I have posted about the ridiculousness of these so-called "goals" every year for the past three years! I actually posted a couple weeks ago about the fact that I am considering subbing at this point because my school has lost their minds with all of the administrative noise that has nothing to do with how I do my job. My DSO thinks these goals are BS as well, but her hands are tied. And they have to be "specific, measurable, blah blah blah". Anyway, I feel your pain.

One of mine is to maintain my RN license by having the appropriate number of continuing ed hours. Then all my workshops meet my license requirements, thus I meet my goal!! We use Frontline and it is very seamless.

This year my goals were to update the Health Office Manual and achieve 95% compliance rate with immunizations. I wanted to make some sort of goal about increasing the students' health knowledge, critical thinking, and self-advocacy/autonomy in health and healthcare setting. However, we're do SMART goals and that seemed hard to porifice out. I do this, though, by asking detailed questions of each student to get them to critically think about what they need, what will help, and how they can communicate that in the future.
