Many questions may arise in your mind when you hear about
your upcoming performance review. Many things will run through your
head--questions to ask, problems to address, requests to make. Being prepared
is of utmost importance.
Before coming to the point, you should understand what a
performance review encompasses.
A performance review is defined as a process by which an
instructor or manager evaluates a nurse's overall performance and behavior. The
manager then compares it with the company’s standards and drives the best
result out of it.

This enables the employer to frequently evaluate the
performance of his or her employee according to a set of standards.
Here’s how you can best prepare yourself for a performance
review.
1. Evaluate Yourself
The first and foremost thing is to go through your job
duties and any sort of guidelines you have. Before facing your first
performance review, you should prepare a list that contains all of your
accomplishments and strengths, as well as your weaknesses and challenges, as
they relate to your job duties and company goals. Make sure to be honest with
yourself. If you find that the information or the evaluation is not so formal
and if no form is available, seek out your detailed job description from the HR
office.
2. Be prepared to
your instructor's review
As well as providing feedback of his or her own, your
manager will likely ask for your feedback about your performance as well. Be
prepared to answer this question as fully as possible.
3. Be prepared to
review your instructor
Many instructors like to hear from the employee. Depending
on the manager, you never know what he or she will ask. If you’re asked to
comment on their role as your manager, be prepared to discuss any pros or cons
associated with your working relationship.

4. Prepare goals for
the next review period
From overcoming your weaknesses to establishing new
challenges, identify some set of goals that you can achieve during the next
review period. Consider training yourself, in both self-directed learning as
well as learning the new job roles. If you have time, it might benefit you to
express wanting to learn additional tasks. This is something your manager will
remember!
5. Some of the final
tips
●
Be prepared for constructive criticism.
●
Be genuine and open with yourself in
thinking about the possible results of your performance review.
●
When thinking about your weaknesses,
think of ways in which you can overcome them.
●
Take responsibility and be accountable
for anything up for discussion in the performance review.
●
Do not try to blame your colleagues or
any other person, as this could potentially harm your feedback.
