Is this a Bad Evaluation?

Hi, I'm a new nurse (10 months in) and I had my first evaluation today and honestly don't know what to think of it as I have nothing to compare it to. In competency I scored a 20/25. Overall I scored an 82/100 using a numbered rating scale. That doesn't seem very good to me. In the comments section it stated that over the past year I've shown continuing improvement and am building confidence and a solid nursing foundation. It also stated that it was a pleasure to have me working on (my unit). The unit manager filled this stuff out but then had one of the charge nurses have me sign the paperwork. So there was no opportunity for me to ask why I scored a certain number and where I need to improve specifically. There were no negative statements whatsoever in the evaluation. I also got a 50 cent raise, which is good. So, to you more experienced nurses, is this a good, bad or so-so evalution? Thank you in advance for your time.
I think it is a good eval. You are showing improvement and growing as a nurse. That is good for a nurse only 10 month out of nursing school. If you have questions about any areas that may or may not need improvement I would call my NM and request a meeting with him/her. Keep up the good work!

I don't think they could have given you a perfect eval as a newly minted nurse. You got the raise so that makes it a good eval. You now have a baseline and should see improvement in your future scores. Congrats on surviving!

I think it was very good. You are a keeper! And you will continue to improve.

OMG! Ya know it could have been worse; you could've scored in the 70's so be glad. Your score indicates you're not perfect but above average.

Anytime you get a raise its a good eval

Hi, I just posted this on another evaluation question.I was a supervisor for a few years. The first evaluation I wrote my supervisor wanted to review before I gave it to the employee. I evaluated him highly. My supervisor told me I couldn't evaluate him so highly. "How can he show improvement on the next evaluation if you give him such high marks on this one!" So I had to lower all the numbers.Absolutely ridiculous!!! Like answering all the questions correctly on a test but the teacher has to give you a B otherwise you can't improve on the next test!!!!!Do not take evaluations to seriously. Yours was as good as it gets!!!!!!

Quote from Nascar nurseDon't take your evaluations to seriously, especially when all written comments are positive. You are on the right track.

Be happy - - you deserved a raise, and got one. You are improving and growing.Congrats!

I just have to agree with everyone else; I think you got a very good eval and you should be proud. Hold your head high. And enjoy the 50 cent raise; it's a pretty good one. =) My last raise was a whopping 16 cents, and I've been a nurse 7 years (I've moved around a lot though =)).
