TI  - The remedial evaluation instrument. A new approach.
PG  - 24-9
AB  - This article proposes a different approach to address a reality of the nursing 
      world: that of the Registered Nurse displaying cumulative technical performance 
      deficiencies. This situation, with its accrued practical, intellectual, moral and 
      emotional costs, deserves closer examination and careful reflection. To 
      rehabilitate or to dismiss--two dissenting viewpoints implying ambiguity and 
      distress. The dramatic universal nursing shortage tempts one to override or 
      suppress this problem as does human reluctance to make judgements regarding 
      dismissal. However, the importance of maintaining performance standards is 
      crucial to the well-being of our ultimate consumer--the patient. The authors wish 
      to explore issues surrounding, and the implementation of, one instrument designed 
      to challenge the use of a conventional Employee Performance Appraisal Evaluation. 
      The Remedial Evaluation Instrument (R.E.I.) as proposed in this article, may aid 
      in resolving the problem of substandard employee performance.
