Practicum Experience Plan

Overview:

Your Practicum experience includes working in a clinical setting that will help you gain the knowledge and skills needed as an advanced practice nurse. In your practicum experience, you will develop a practicum plan that sets forth objectives to frame and guide your practicum experience.

As part of your Practicum Experience Plan, you will not only plan for your learning in your practicum experience but also work through various patient visits with focused notes as well as one (1) journal entry.

Complete each section below.

Part 2: Individualized Practicum Learning Objectives

Refer to the instructions in Week 2 to create individualized practicum learning objectives that meet the requirements for this course. These objectives should be explicitly aligned with your Practicum experience. Your goals should address your self-assessment of the skills found in the "PMHNP Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form" you completed in Week 1.

As you develop your individualized practicum learning objective, write them using the SMART format. Use the resources found in Week 2 to guide your development. Once you review your resources, continue and complete the following. Note: Please ensure each of your objectives is connected to your self-assessment. Also, consider that you must demonstrate how you are advancing your knowledge in the clinical specialty.

** YOU MUST HAVE 3 NEW OBJECTIVES EACH QUARTER. You may include previous practicum objectives; however, you still must have three new goals for your current course.

Objective 1: To improve knowledge of professional and career boundaries.

Planned Activities:  Cooperation with the clinicians to gain the fundamental skills of medication and

prevention.

 Discussions with employees already in the field about their past work experience.

 I am presenting to them case studies to be handled as real situations.

Mode of Assessment:

The objective will be assessed by identifying the learners’ ability to effectively handle clinical issues over a vast dimension of the medication process with fewer readmissions.

PRAC Course Outcome(s) Addressed: Building a career path is the outcome that the objective addresses since it diversifies the learner into a broader view of how different practicum sessions can be monetarized.

Objective 2: To learn patients’ diagnosis process

Planned Activities:  Understand various therapies for different categories of patients.

 Be conversant with broad perspectives of medication and treatment processes.

 Familiarize with the most effective- method to document patient history for easy retrieval during revisits.

Mode of Assessment: Observation of patients' progress and readmission rate is the mode of assessment to be used. This is likely characterized by positive patient health outcomes geared by the proper patient diagnosis.

PRAC Course Outcome(s) Addressed:

 Patient care and the ability to preserve patient history are the outcomes addressed in the objective to help improve the quality of life.

Objective 3: To understand the code of ethics and shift change within a clinical setup Planned Activities:  Learn how patients’ personal information can be encrypted to ensure privacy and

confidentiality.

 Identify the activities involved in shift change and how they are done.

Mode of Assessment: Observation and recording tool are best used to identify if ethics were used during patient care. This includes encrypting their social life and medical history, which builds trust between patients and the facility.

PRAC Course Outcome(s) Addressed:  Ethical nursing and workload in a clinical setup are evident in the objective meant to

equip the learner with knowledge of what is in the actual field of clinicians.

Part 3: Projected Timeline/Schedule

Estimate how many hours you expect to work on your PracticumPracticum each week. *Note: All of your hours and activities must be supervised by your Preceptor and completed onsite. Your Preceptor will approve all hours, but your activities will be supported by both your Preceptor and Instructor. Any changes to this plan must be approved.

This timeline is intended as a planning tool; your actual schedule may differ from the projections you are making now.

I intend to complete the 144 or 160 Practicum hours (as applicable) according to the following timeline/schedule. I also understand that I must see at least 80 patients during my practicum experience. I may not complete my practicum hours sooner than eight weeks. I know I may not be in the PracticumPracticum setting longer than 8 hours per day unless pre- approved by my faculty.
