Abstract
There is high demand for competent graduate nurses as they begin working in healthcare. However, the transition from classroom to professional practice can be difficult. Students and newly licensed entry-level practitioners must develop and possess suitable clinical judgments in order to demonstrate clinical competency in the delivery of safe patient care. Currently, there is a call for nursing education to provide increased rigor in performance evaluation of students' clinical judgment prior to graduation.
The primary purpose of this study was to determine if rater training had an effect on interrater reliability among raters with the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric (LCJR) subscales in simulation compared to those who receive no training. The second purpose was to determine the effect of years of experience evaluating nursing students and level of nursing education on interrater reliability with the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric.
