Scenario: Performance Evaluation
Overview
Since our Target Audience, Nurse Practitioner (NP) Preceptors, may occasionally confront disagreeable students when giving their performance, evaluation, this module provides a video enactment of a common scenario in which this occurs. The module aims to encourage learners to think critically about how they would act in this situation and how the NP Preceptor in the scene could have handled it differently.
Production
I collaborated with Dr. Donna Hallas, the Principal Investigator of the HRSA Grant funded Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Preceptor Development Program at NYU Meyers, to produce this scene in which a student becomes aggravated by receiving an evaluation of 'not competent' by her NP Preceptor. We began by outlining common reasons why an NP student may receive a 'not competent' evaluation, as well as common negative reactions by students. Dr. Hallas also outlined some of the ways in which Preceptors sometimes incorrectly handle such situations.
Next, Dr. Hallas incorporated these ideas into a script that we sent to actors who would play the roles of NP Preceptor and NP student who act out the scene described above about a week prior to the filming date. We used a room in the NYU Meyers Clinical Simulation Learning Center as the setting and provided the actors with lab coats to wear, just as NPs and NP students wear in the clinical setting.
I set up a Canon DSLR to record the video and used a directional mic to record audio. I edited the video on iMovie and enhanced the audio using Adobe Audition. I embedded the video into an Adobe Captivate file and built in knowledge check questions provided by Dr. Hallas that ask learners questions related to the NP Preceptor-NP Student interaction. Finally, published it as HTML5 on the grant website and as a SCORM file to the National Association of Nurse Practitioner (NAPNAP) learning programs.
