WEEK 3: STUDY PLAN 2
Week 3: Study Plan
The national certification exam covers topics that prepare a PMHNP for their various
roles within an organization. The practice test questions on the national certification exams were
an opportunity for me to evaluate my readiness in handling the next topics of the course. They
were also instrumental in determining a self-examination and assessment on my strengths and
opportunities. While my score was poor, I am confident that my study plan will help me
improve my test results at the end of the course.
As I went through the practice test questions, I realized that the topics and the questions
were very hard because I was not familiar with the context of the questions and the requirements.
I also struggled with the time allotted for the pretest as it was not enough for someone with little
knowledge about the topics to complete it on time. In spite of such challenges on my end, I
showed strength in pushing through the assignments and conducting a little research on the
topics, even when I knew very little about them. I also showed strength in some of the topics by
utilizing my general knowledge and scoring them correctly. For instance, my general knowledge
on child and adolescent psychiatric assessment, and mood disorders came in handy when
answering questions related to the two. Some of the opportunities for improvement include my
time management skills. Since I ran out of time during the pretest exams, I have an opportunity
to improve my time management when it comes to studying and tests by working on the easy
tasks before moving on to the difficult tasks. I also have an opportunity to study ahead and
conduct more research on the topics that relate to PMHNP care. Another important opportunity is
for me to develop a study plan that will help me improve on my areas of weakness during my
study. The plan will serve as a guide to facilitate my knowledge on the current course topics and
an expansion to other related topics beyond the scope of the course.

WEEK 3: STUDY PLAN 3
Study Plan
My study plan will be based on the topics covered in the course and the goals that I
intend to achieve at the end of it. All goals will run consecutively; thus, the timetable for
accomplishing them will run from week 3 to week 11 of the course.
Goal 1: My first goal is to improve my knowledge on child and adolescent psychiatric
assessment by taking part in the weekly virtual seminars at my healthcare facility and achieving
a 90% score on the weekly virtual tests issued at the end of the seminar.
Tasks: -Weekly virtual seminars and virtual tests
Measurement of progress: The progress of the two tasks will be evaluated based on my
attendance of the weekly virtual seminars, the level of participation during the seminars, and the
scores on the virtual tests at the end of the seminar.
Goal 2: My second goal is to improve my diagnostic skills relating to mental health disorders by
attending lectures 3 times a week and achieving an accuracy diagnostic skill score of at least
95% on the final test.
Tasks: Lectures, group studies based on DSM-5 diagnostic manual, final classroom test
Measurement of progress: Progress will be measured using the number of attendance to the
lectures and the final test score.
Goal 3: My third goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the ethical and legal foundations of
PMHNP care by taking part in the monthly workshops that discuss different ethical and legal
dilemma and scoring 90% on the case studies issued at the workshop at the end of the quarter.
Tasks: Individual studies on ethical and legal foundations of PMHNP, attendance of monthly
workshops.

WEEK 3: STUDY PLAN 4
Measurement of progress: The level of workshop participation as issued by the workshop
leader and the scores on the case studies.
The resources that I would use to accomplish my goals and tasks include the utilization of
virtual study groups that cover different topics each week. While the workshops and seminars
will be instrumental in fulfilling my goals, the study groups will prepare me on the topics that are
covered through the course and help me gain further interpretation from my peers’ perspective. I
will also utilize other mental strategies such as shadowing my superiors at my workplace and
asking questions relating to the child and adolescent psychiatric disorders. Other online and print
resources that I will rely on to meet my goals include the DSM-5 diagnostic manual, the ICD-10,
and ICD-11 guidelines. These resources are the basis of mental health disorders and they will
particularly provide clear and evidence-based guidelines to meet my study plan objectives.
In conclusion, the national certification pretest presented an opportunity for me to learn
more about the course topics. It also served as a guide to help me develop a focused study plan
that will help me improve my knowledge and skills as a PMHNP. Although I failed most of the
pretest question, they were instrumental in helping me prepare and anticipate the course’ hurdles
and push me to take part in learning activities such as seminars, workshops, virtual classes, and
study groups.

National Certification Study Plan
A study plan is necessary when preparing for any examination. The certification exam is a
pathway to practicing as Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (Raymond, 2021). My
objectives in this study plan will include my self-care strategies and study timeline. This
strategy will be evidence-based so that I can understand the students’ expectations of the
American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for the certification examination. This study
plan will be a guide throughout my certification examination preparation. My goal is to study
effectively all the study materials and resources I have bought or acquired before the
examination date.
Summary of strengths and Opportunities for Improvement
There is always room for improvement if there is self-motivation to succeed. My
pretest for the National Certification Examination (NCE) I took last week, Week two, made
me understand that I have much to study. My score also encouraged me because many
questions required critical reasoning, which I answered correctly. However, there were many
areas that I should concentrate on during studies.
Study Plan Including Goals and Tasks
Goal 1- I will have all the study materials and resources required to prepare for my
certification examination by the end of third week of March 2023; I can achieve this
goal by acquiring study materials recommended by the schools and mentors.

Task 2- Put all my study materials together for my NCE

Certification Review. All these are the resources I have acquired online, Amazon, and Walden
bookstore to equip me for my certification exam and practice.
Conclusion
The study plan aims to prepare me for the psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner
certification exam. The certification exam is a pathway to practicing as Psychiatric Mental
Health Nurse Practitioner. However, this goal can only be achieved with appropriate
planning. A SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timeline) goal is the
key to any achievement. According to Swann et al. (2022), a goal is defined as what an
individual is trying to accomplish, the individual’s aim or object of action to achieve a
specific standard of proficiency on a task. To be successful in my Psychiatric Mental health
Nurse Practitioner Certification Exam, it is essential that I set a goal and plan toward
achieving it. Evidence-based studies have shown that SMART practice is necessary because it
motivates and improves the odds of achieving a particular goal.
