How do my learning goals support my commitment to continuing competency?

How does my learning relate to the competencies of my practice?

My learning goals focus on providing client-centred care. Becoming a more

effective leader and health care provider ensures my clients that I am
capable and competent enough to care for them. Improving on my care plans
will enhance my skills of prioritizing interventions.

Continue to maintain and update your

Learning Plan throughout the year.

Evaluation of changes/outcomes to my practice

What did I learn?
What impact has my Learning Plan had on my practice?

I felt that enhancing my leadership skills required more planning than what I
first planned. I learned the becoming a better as a student nurse is more than
just being able to perform procedures confidently in the clinical setting. I
realized that involves a lot of times management between multiple clients,
documentation, breaks, and collaboration with peers as well as the
inter-professional health care team. I feel that in my next placement I will be
able to improve more on my leadership skills through communication and
collaboration with the inter-professional healthcare team.
Creating care plans for individual clients are very detailed. I learned that I
should focus on assessing the whole individual through the specific systems
such as the respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, and psychological
systems.

You can print your Learning Plan for your

records.
