that follows it by marking an X in the appropriate box below.
Registered Nurses

Some things match, but most of it does not match what I do.
It does not at all describe what I do.
Please proceed to the next page.
Specific Tasks Performed on Your Job (continued)
Instructions: The next section presents a list of tasks. A task is an action or set of actions
performed together to accomplish an objective. This list is specific to the job you are
describing.
For each task, please make the following three ratings: Relevance, Frequency, and
Importance. These ratings are described as follows:
RELEVANCE. If the task is NOT RELEVANT at all to performance on the job, mark
through the "0" in the NOT RELEVANT column. Carefully read the task before deciding
whether it is RELEVANT or NOT RELEVANT to this job. If you select the "0" in the NOT
RELEVANT column, however, there is no need to complete the IMPORTANCE and
FREQUENCY ratings described below. If the task is part of this job, rate IMPORTANCE
and FREQUENCY.
FREQUENCY. (Do not complete if NOT RELEVANT was selected.) Ask yourself, "How
often is this task performed on this job?" For example, “Interact with potential customers" is
a task that an employee in one job might perform only "once per week or less," but an
employee in another job might perform "hourly or more often."
Rate the FREQUENCY with which a task is performed by marking through the appropriate
number, from 1 (indicating that the task is performed once per year or less often) to 7
(indicating that the task is performed hourly or more often) on the FREQUENCY scale.
IMPORTANCE. (Do not complete if NOT RELEVANT was selected.) Ask yourself,
"How important is this task to performance on this job?" For example, "Develop objectives
and strategies to guide the organization" might be very important for an employee in one job,
but less important for another job. For the second job, however, "Provide performance
feedback to subordinates" might be very important.
Rate importance of the task for performance on the job by marking through the appropriate
number, from 1 (indicating that the task is of no importance) to 5 (indicating that the task is
extremely important) on the IMPORTANCE scale.
Please proceed to the next page.
