 Lawton, S. & Ernesti, D. (1998). Are staffers headed in the right direction? Nursing Management, 29(7), 28-30.

Case study of an intervention strategy of one new nurse whose coworkers and evaluations showed that she was making serious errors.

 

Using regular meetings between mentors/supervisors and the nurse, a training plan and learning contract were constructed and carried out. 

 Provide a framework that will "identify strengths and opportunities for improvement as well as to provide the foundation for an effective plan that was agreeable to all parties." Though the plan appeared to be a good one and the team believed that they had designed for many if not all foreseeable contingencies, after only three weeks in the program, the nurse committed such a serious error that she had to be dismissed.  The full plan was never carried out.
