How to Grade Nursing Student Poster Boards

Nurses train extensively in order to provide needed care in every area of medicine. A nurse must understand her role and the challenges that come with it. In the emergency room a nurse faces moderate to life-threatening situations and is often the first to triage damage. In the delivery room, a nurse monitors mother and baby, looking for signs of distress. Every day nurses face situations that change at a moment's notice. During nursing school students create poster boards with mock case-studies as a teaching project before program completion. The poster board is presented to peers and administration.

      Create a grading rubric for the nursing students. The Denver School of Nursing uses a rubric with 20 sections for content and presentation. Each section carries a grade from one to five. Use a standard rubric like this or create one of your own by determining the content you are looking for.

      Watch the presentation. Decide if the presentation was made effectively and timely. Look for any discrepancies in the exercise. Judge whether the poster and the team answered the questions on your rubric accurately.

    • 3

      Check off the sections on your rubric while watching the presentation. Waiting until a later time can cause an error in grading if you forget anything.

      Add each section together for the final poster board grade. The poster board presentation accounts for a different percentage of the final class grade depending on the school. Once you finish the assessment combine the presentation grade with the lecture and lab grades to get the final class grade.
