Abstract

Inadequate hand-off communication between nurses has been identified as a primary contributing factor leading to medical errors. The purpose of this innovative study was to assess first-semester nursing students' ability to accurately complete a shift assessment and properly communicate findings. Graduate assistants evaluated students' ability to accurately complete a shift assessment, report assessment findings, and identify at least one abnormal finding. The data related to student learning satisfaction and self-confidence were collected from participants during their shift assessment check-off.
