Teaching managers to appraise performances
Article Abstract:
Managers consider criticizing employee performance and handling discipline issues to be the most stressful part of their work. Line managers do not think either side benefits from performance reviews, and even human resource managers, who are supposed to model proper performance review techniques, view the process negatively. Many studies have, however, confirmed that proper performance reviews improve communication and employee growth. Employees need to know how they are doing, but are sensitive to manager biases. Independent, self-paced packages overcome much of the fault both sides find with the appraisal process.

Vision: a professional model for nursing practice
Article Abstract:
The goal of nursing is to help patients to regain the greatest level of wellness possible or to attain a dignified death. Each patient is unique and holds the right to dignified care. Nurses are patient advocates who, however, are also committed to maximum cost effectiveness. The patient should be the focal point of a model for nursing practice. Nurses occupying the ladder can be distinguished by experience, expertise, and education. As much self-governance as possible exists. Selecting technology was a staff-driven process, in keeping with the instiktution's philosophy of staff nurse empowerment.
