Performance feedback can take many forms. Some formats that new nurses may encounter are
360-degree feedback (not 365-degree feedback), preceptor feedback (feedback from one's preceptor
during the orientation period), formal performance feedback (regular formalized performance
evaluation to maintain accreditation (for new nurses, generally after the orientation process or first 3
months, and then at 6- and 12-month intervals for the first year), and informal performance feedback
(feedback from nurses and professional you work with such as "good job," or "your IV placement
technique is really nice").
