Assignment Task
Description
1. Create a Portfolio – address the two job selection criteria items by describing your professional competencies, skills, or qualifications. Provide examples of how you address each criterion by linking your statement with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia’s [NMBA] Registered Nurse Standards for Practice.
What are the nursing selection criteria?
Nursing selection criteria are a set of standards determined by the employer that a nurse candidate is expected to meet. Organisations create these criteria by considering the organisation’s skills and experience or a specific department needs. Selection criteria help those making hiring decisions shortlist suitable individuals for interviews. It also ensures that the organisation evaluates every person interested in the role by the same criteria, giving qualified candidates an equal chance of getting the job. Selection criteria don’t include a job’s non-negotiable requirements but offer proof a person can perform certain tasks or meet specific challenges.
A) Describe a strong problem-solving skill that helped you to make an appropriate clinical decision based on a rational analysis of the situation, evidence-based practice and your existing knowledge and experience.
B) Provide an example of your effective communication skill that helped you to accurately convey important details to the right group at the right time. How did you address your patient’s fears and concerns regarding their treatment? What is the outcome?
