Performance Appraisal of Nurse Educators in a College of Nursing

Expectations for contemporary nursing practice competencies have emerged like the complexity of globalization, advancement in technology, dynamics of health science, healthcare policy reforms, demographic changes and demands for quality care from consumers of health care. These expectations led to the surge of overseas employment opportunities for Filipino Nurses that created depletion of competent professionals. The high demand for nurses led to the mushrooming of nursing schools that in turn resulted in the lack of competent faculty and inadequate facilities and equipment. As a result, the number of board passers dropped significantly. The biggest losers were the students and their parents, many of whom invested a fortune in tuition and other school expenses.The researcher envisioned helping assess the quality of teachers of a university; and determine whether their performance and behaviors are appropriate and delivered with excellence to ensure client satisfaction.
