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\u00a0already\u00a0know? What do I\u00a0need\u00a0to know? And what do I\u00a0want\u00a0to know?\u201d This critical self-reflection is especially important for developing clinical skills such as those for advanced practice nursing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
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 necessary skills you should demonstrate during your practicum experiences.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
