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,
“What do I already know? What do I need to know? And what do I want to know?” This
critical self-reflection is especially important for developing clinical skills such as those
for advanced practice nursing.
The Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) Clinical Skills List and
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 list
covers all the necessary skills you should demonstrate during your practicum
experiences.
Just as you did in PRAC 6635, for this Assignment, 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.
To Prepare
Review the resources and clinical skills in the PMHNP Clinical Skills List document. It is
recommended that you print out this document to serve as a guide throughout your
practicum.
