Abstract
Numerous evaluation tools are used to verify nursing competencies, job satisfaction, and leadership qualities separately. One comprehensive tool, the Progressive Orientation Level Evaluation (POLE) tool, measures the increasing complexity of competencies from novice through competent levels. The tool also measures employee satisfaction and engagement to identify potential challenges, stressors, or barriers to transition prior to completion of the post-hiring orientation (on-boarding) process. A prospective cohort design was used to determine reliability of the POLE tool examining new graduate nurses' (NGNs) learning needs using objectives to individualize the length of training as needed. Cronbach's alpha was used to determine internal consistency. The reliability of the instrument was established showing high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = .90 to .99). Using a valid and reliable tool provides NGNs and organizations with a way to evaluate the success of stated goals and outcomes from a residency program in a standardized and consistent manner.
