The question asked for this small research project was 'how do senior students judge their progress towards being a "good nurse"?' A qualitative approach was taken and a convenience sample of 10 student midwives identified. Interviews were the main source of data collection. Since the method of analysis was that of grounded theory, the interviews became more focused as themes emerged. Results demonstrated that each student developed a range of self-assessment strategies which were used in any clinical placement. Some techniques were used only at a certain stage in a clinical placement while others were used throughout. Cyclical techniques were related to the achievement of short-term goals; strategies used for the duration of the placement had more long-term significance. Highlights of the findings were explored in the literature. These features included models of professional development, the need to feel part of a team, the necessity of identifying a role model, and the significance of the length of a clinical placement. Conclusions related to the duration of a clinical placement and the necessity for the student to have the opportunity to complete the cycle. The value of acquainting new students with self-assessment strategies is suggested.
