For this Assignment (just as you did in PRAC 6645), you assess where you are now in your clinical skill development and make plans for this practicum. Specifically, you will identify strengths and opportunities for improvement regarding the required practicum skills. 

Clinical skills self-assessment | Nursing homework help

First, review the PMHNP Clinical Skills List document and assess your confidence level for each of the clinical skills listed. Rate yourself on a scale of 1-5, with 1 being not at all confident and 5 being very confident. Be honest with yourself in your self-assessment.

Next, based on your ratings, identify your strengths and opportunities for improvement. Consider the skills where you rated yourself highly and those where you may need more development. Think about the areas where you feel most comfortable and those where you may feel more challenged.

Once you have identified your strengths and opportunities for improvement, think about your theory of nursing practice and how this informs your goals for this practicum experience. Consider the nursing competencies and nursing theory resources provided and how they apply to your practice.

Using the “Developing SMART Goals” resource, develop three to four measurable goals and objectives for this practicum experience. Ensure that each goal is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Consider how each goal and objective relates to the skills you identified in your self-assessment and how they align with your theory of nursing practice.

Once you have developed your goals and objectives, include them on the designated area of the PMHNP Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form. Review your form to ensure that it reflects your self-assessment and your goals for this practicum experience.
