Nurse Leader Peer Review

Peer Review Process for Formal Nurse Leaders | Assistant Nurse Managers and Above

One RN Peer Review is required for each performance appraisal cycle for all RNs. Additional peer review may be completed as determined by the leader and/or individual.

A peer is defined as a professional of the same rank, education, clinical expertise, and level of licensure who performs similar roles. For Formal Nurse Leaders, a peer is someone whose job profile/position is at the same management-level as oneself, such as:

• Assistant Nurse Manager to Assistant Nurse Manager

• Nurse Manager to Nurse Manager
• Director to Director

Peer Review occurs in a face-to-face buddy process with a peer and are self-selected.

Peer Review is conducted in a transparent process – face-to-face and documented via a template in Workday, including who provided the peer review, to be included in each performance appraisal cycle.

Use the Workday function “Get Feedback on Self” and select “UVAH: NPGO Peer Review – Nurse Leader-Locked Template” to send a request to your peer. Confirm “Share with others” is selected.

Prepare by using the Nurse Leader Peer Review Prep Tool to reflect on one’s own strengths and areas for growth following the provided template.

Schedule 60 minutes to meet face-to-face. Take turns sharing self-reflections with peer and invite peer’s input and feedback throughout dialogue. Take notes.

Once complete, document and submit the peer review in Workday within one week of the dialogue.

Important Notes:

• This is not an opportunity for holding a crucial conversation, as in-the-moment-feedback should occur outside of performance appraisal peer review.
