To prepare:
- Reflect on the practicum professional development objectives you developed and outlined in your Practicum Professional Experience Plan in Week 1.
- Keeping in mind the practicum activities you have engaged in thus far, consider the following questions:
- How have these activities helped to promote your professional development?
- Are you satisfied with your progress toward meeting your objectives? If not, what will you do to ensure you achieve them before the end of your Practicum Experience? As a reminder, you must complete all of your practicum hours on or before Day 5 of Week 11.
- What challenges or unexpected opportunities have arisen at your practicum site? How has this affected your professional development?
- Think about the experiences you may have in the forthcoming weeks. Do you foresee any particular challenges on the horizon? If so, what is your plan for addressing those challenges?
- Think about the time you have spent with your Preceptor. How has this time enhanced or changed your understanding of the role and functions of the nurse leader-manager or nurse informaticist?
