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.

Review the PMHNP Clinical Skills List and rate your level of confidence for each skill listed. On a 1-5 scale, where 1 is not confident at all and 5 is very confident, rate yourself. In your assessment of yourself, be truthful.

Use your scores to identify strengths and improvement opportunities. Think about the areas where you feel you are strong and where there is room for improvement. You should consider the areas in which you are comfortable, and also those that you find challenging.

After you’ve identified your strengths, consider your nursing theory and the way it informs your practice goals. Think about the resources on nursing theory and competencies provided, and consider how you can apply them to your own practice.

Using the “Developing SMART Goals” resource, develop three to four measurable goals and objectives for this practicum experience. Each goal should be specific, measurable and relevant. Think about how your goals and objectives relate to your skills that you have identified during your self assessment and your nursing theory.

Include your goals and objective on the PMHNP Self-Assessment form. Make sure that your form reflects the self-assessment you made and your goal for this experience.
