PRAC 6665/6675 Clinical Skills
Self-Assessment Form
Nurse practitioners partner up with a variety of other healthcare providers to provide
prompt, secure, and efficient care. Advanced patient care necessitates a diverse set of clinical
skills. The ability to detect and treat people suffering from various mental diseases is primarily
reliant on clinical competence (Singh et al., 2022). Clinical talents must be evaluated in order to
determine one's potential and places for improvement. This paper explores my practicum's
strengths, flaws, and growth opportunities.

Summary of strengths:

My areas of expertise include patients and families of patients, as well as
multidisciplinary teams. Modes of communication include vocal, nonverbal, and written
communication. When communicating with clients and families members, I always try to be
empathic. Sharing knowledge with other practitioners, such as nurse practitioners and
physicians is critical in ensuring the health and safety of patients (Nilsen et al., 2020). To
reduce the possibility of medical errors, for example, I ensure it is a priority to offer accurate
information to practitioners during the handing over. In communicating with patients and
their families, it is critical to utilize good language and demonstrate compassion. Clients want
to have confidence that their nurses are looking out for them. Communication between
patients and nurses is critical for establishing mutual confidence between the two sides.
Treatment strategies and education for patients are essential for getting exceptional results.
The loved ones of a patient require regular information on their family's information.
I am strong in diagnosing and treating mental conditions. I've evaluated a broad
spectrum of people with diverse mental health disorders. Throughout my practicum, I
encountered a diverse range of patients. For example, I look to see if an individual has lost
interest in their normal routine or if they have an overtime negative attitude on life. A correct
diagnosis necessitates the appropriate identification of signs and indicators. I am able to
develop and maintain professional relationships with patients. My goal is to avoid having
unprofessional relationships with my clients. If I suspect an emotional connection that would
affect treatment, I would ensure to refer the client to another therapist. Patients' have to
trust the healthcare system to be dependent on ethical and legal considerations at all times.
Regardless of their racial or sexual background, stage of life, or diseases, every patient get

handled with dignity and compassion the provider. Healthcare is a basic human right no
matter the ethnicity of an individual. Patient confidence and a nonjudgmental approach to
healthcare can help to enhance diversity.
Opportunities for growth:
Nursing is a career that is always evolving to guarantee that individuals with diverse
needs receive the quality care (Flaubert et al., 2021). My preceptor and I will have nursing
mentorship relationship as my initial opportunity for growth. Additional interactions with my
preceptor can help me better grasp the areas where I am week. Two of the areas where I
have to improve to help assist the patients in psychosocial evaluation and family psychiatric
history. Psychosocial assessment is where I can have an advantage by practicing. Only
comprehensive patient assessments allow for appropriate diagnoses.
I will need the details clients have provided in order to appropriately and reliably
evaluate them. I will need the help of my preceptor to develop my abilities to conduct and
comprehend psychosocial evaluations and family psychiatric histories. Online courses,
webinars, and conferences offer a secondary way to improve. The accessibility and simplicity
of use of this platform is extremely beneficial to nurse practitioners. Webinars and seminars
offered by nursing organizations, reputable practitioners, and hospitals are two examples. For
instance, the webinars will address bias and the development of therapy regimens tailored to
every patient's needs. It is feasible to join nursing groups as a third option to advancement.
I am working on becoming a member of the American and National Leagues of

Nursing. Without the assistance of nursing organizations, the field of nursing would not be
what it is today (Chiu et al., 2021). Membership includes personal development, networking,
financial aid, and other educational opportunities. The fourth option for advancement is to
volunteer for organizations that give mental health services to low-income families. My
charitable work will allow me to connect with a diverse spectrum of individuals while
discovering about the complexities of mental health care. My ideal times to volunteer will be
on weekends and specific days of the week. By discussing how to use various screening
instruments for mental health disorders, fellow students and my preceptor will support me in
learning advanced technology skills. Participating in the group will improve my ability to
employ a variety of skills. My goal is to utilize the school library to enhance my skills. Using
peer-reviewed literature, I will seek out recent, credible, and scientifically information. Due to
the high-quality data, I will be able to discover current trends in mental healthcare solutions.
Now, write three to four (3–4) possible goals and objectives for this practicum experience.
Ensure that they follow the SMART Strategy, as described in the Learning Resources.
1. Goal: Improve my communication skills when handling clients and working with an inter-professional team a. Objective: Provide information to patients and their families and offer explanation

Setting S.M.A.R.T. Goals Savvy Strategies to Help you Succeed

S.M.A.R.T. is a goal-setting tool, which identifies five criteria for setting effective goals: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Goals built around these criteria are likely to be met because they are focused, realistic, and actionable. For more specific definitions and examples of each criterion, use the buttons below:

When setting a goal, be specific about what you would like to achieve. Think about how you might reach your goal, as well as what you hope to gain by achieving it.
I want to be a better student.
This is a vague goal. Without further definition, it will be difficult to achieve. To improve this goal, ask, “Why do I want to be a better student? And more importantly, how can I become a better student?”
This term, I will focus on improving my probability skills and earn at least a B in my statistics course.
This goal is much more specific. It includes a focused definition of what it means to be a better student (at least a B grade) and considers what can be gained by achieving this goal (improved math skills).

Realistic, effective goals offer a way to measure your progress. Measurable goals also clearly indicate when you have succeeded in achieving your goal.
I want to be in better health.
This goal can’t be measured. What does it mean
to be in better health and how will you know when
you have achieved it?
I will improve my physical health by riding my bike to work at least three times per week.
This goal is measurable. It will be achieved when
you successfully ride your bike to work a
minimum of three times per week.

A I S F O R A C H I E V A B L E Set goals that are feasible, realistic, and within reach. Goals should be challenging but not unattainable—otherwise, you may be setting yourself up to fail.
I am going to write 25 pages of my dissertation each week, so that I can finish within 6 weeks.
This goal is likely unachievable. Dissertations are meant to be written over long periods of time. Even full-time professional authors cannot adhere to such a rigorous pace.
For the entire month of January, I will dedicate at least one, distraction-free hour per day to writing my dissertation.
While still challenging, this goal is more realistic. If all goes well, at the end of January, you can commit yourself to another month of daily writing or adjust your goal to better suit your lifestyle and obligations.

R I S F O R R E L E V A N T Goals should reflect your values and long-term objectives. Avoid setting goals that may distract from, or that don’t directly contribute to, the achievement of more urgent, overarching aims.
I will complete my Master’s of Nursing within three years by taking two online
classes per term.
Again, if you are a Master’s of Nursing student, it
makes sense to set a goal that is directly related
to your long-term academic and professional
objectives.
I want to write a novel before I turn 40.
For career authors and creative writers, this might
be a realistic and relevant goal. However, if you are
actively pursuing a Master’s in Nursing in order to
further an established career in the health field,
focusing on a novel is likely distracting and
counterproductive.

When you set a goal, establish a target deadline or timeframe, as well. Deadlines help you stay motivated and focused on achieving your goal.
I want to run a marathon.
This goal may be achievable, but without a timeframe, it doesn’t mean much. Many of us want to run a marathon someday; fewer of us commit to and train for a specific event.
I will adhere to the Runner’s World 16-week training schedule, so that I am prepared to run the Boston Marathon on April 15th.
This goal is specific, measurable, achievable, and time- bound. It includes a deadline, which is tied to a particular event and realistic training plan.

A middle school teacher sets the following goal: I will attend two professional development workshops. Which two S.M.A.R.T. criteria does this goal fail to meet?
Time Bound and Specific
That’s right! Setting a goal to attend two workshops is measurable. When the teacher has attended two workshops, they’ve achieved their goal. Moreover, attending professional development is likely relevant to a middle school teacher. However, this goal is not specific (which two workshops and why?), nor is it tied to a deadline (when will this task be completed?).

Relevant and Measurable
Take a second look at this one: setting out to attend two workshops means that the goal is measurable. When the teacher has attended two workshops, they have achieved their goal. Moreover, attending professional development is likely relevant to a middle school teacher. However, this goal is not specific (which two workshops and why?), nor is it tied to a deadline (when will this task be completed?).

A doctoral Public Health student sets the following goal: To improve my grammar, I will complete the Sentence Structure Basics and Verbs modules in the Writing Center with a 90% score within 6 months. Does this goal meet all five S.M.A.R.T. criteria?
Yes
That’s right! This goal does, in fact, meet all five criteria. The student refers to specific modules, sets a metric to determine success (90%), and attaches the goal to a timeframe of 6 months. Moreover, this is an achievable goal—the student is not expecting perfection, and the timeline is realistic. Finally, for a doctoral student who will eventually write a dissertation, proper grammar is especially important, which means that this goal is relevant.
