This study examines the job performance and job literacy strategies employed by 27 nurses during 8 hours of observed job performance for each nurse. Analysis revealed differences among nurses in training, experienced nurses, and supervisory nurses. Other significant differences were found in the job literacy strategies employed by superior as compared to adequately performing nurses. Major differences tended to reside in higher level critical applications of information rather than in reading test scores, amount of time reading on the job, or observed strategies employed by nurses.
