CLINICAL SKILLS SELF-ASSESSMENT<\/p>\n
Before embarking on any professional or academic activity, it is important to understand the background, knowledge, and experience you bring to it. You might ask yourself, \u201cWhat do I already know? What do I need to know? And what do I want to know?\u201d This critical self-reflection is especially important for developing clinical skills such as those for advanced practice nursing.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The PMHNP Clinical Skills List and PMHNP Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form provided in the Learning Resources can be used to celebrate your progress throughout your practicum and identify skills gaps. The skills list covers all necessary skills you should demonstrate during your practicum experiences.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
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. In this practicum experience, when developing your goals and objectives, be sure to keep assessment and diagnostic reasoning in mind. As you complete your self-assessment this week, you may wish to look back over your self-assessments from prior practicums to reflect on your growth.<\/p>\n
