This involves completing full neonatal assessments with a variety of infants by caring for a diversity of patients. By the end of the rotation my goal is to successfully handle a full patient workload. Strategies and Resources In order to accomplish this goal I will observe, assist and practice with my preceptor and other health care professionals throughout my rotation. I will also observe and participate in patient rounds and various procedures required for neonatal patients. Learning to organize and prioritize patients’ needs appropriately and effectively will assist me in obtaining this goal. Furthermore I will use multiple sources of information that contribute to the nursing care of neonates. These resources include other health care professionals, current nursing research, nursing literature and guidelines, and my previous clinical experience and knowledge. Evaluation To evaluate my progress I will self reflect and communicate with my preceptor. By keeping open communication between my preceptor and other health care professionals I will be able to evaluate my progress. Using daily pre and post discussions with my preceptor regarding my goals and accomplishments will help me evaluate my progress on a daily basis. Date of completion: Student’s initials_____ Preceptor’s initials_____ Objective Within the 12 week rotation my goal is to effectively initiate 10 IV’s in order to successfully initiate IV therapy on my own. I also strive to successfully initiate, maintain and regulate IV therapy for various patients throughout my rotation. Strategies and Resources To achieve this goal I will use the knowledge and practice from the IV therapy course I have completed and previous clinical experience to successfully initiate IV therapy. Furthermore I will use the resources and practice guidelines regarding initiation of IV therapy available on the unit. After review of the practice guidelines I will observe my preceptor or another health care professional initiate IV therapy to a neonate patient(s). Following both the practice guidelines and my observation(s) of initiation of IV therapy I will attempt to initiate IV therapy with assistance from my preceptor. I will use my previous experience and clinical knowledge and the knowledge of other staff members to assist me in successfully initiating IV therapy. Evaluation My preceptor and/or other health care professionals involved in my attempts to initiate IV therapy will provide verbal or written feedback to me regarding my attempts. A brief discussion will be held between my preceptor and I following an IV attempt. The discussion and evaluation will consist on how well my attempt was, my areas of strengths and what areas I need to improve on. After effectively initiating IV therapy the evaluation will consist on my success at maintaining and regulating my patients’ IV therapy. Date of completion: Student’s initials_____ Preceptor’s initials_____ I will demonstrate the concept of caring in my professional practice within legislative and ethical parameters. This will be demonstrated and documented at the end of each week. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Action Plan: Read the policy and procedure manual for nurses on the Forensic Unit at NEMHC. Completed within 2nd week of rotation Review the College of Nurses of Ontario Professional standards and apply to practice. Read prior to Feb. 1 Review PHIPA or if available re-take course offered at NEMHC. Read manual 1st week and/or take course when it is offered. Read the hospital policy and procedure manual for medications if available. Read the 1st week. Read the orientation package available for registered nurses. Read by end of 2nd week. The following will be demonstrated on each shift: Ensure that my clients have a right to privacy, confidentiality, and informed consent. Support and advocate for my client whenever needed. I will demonstrate truthfulness and fairness when dealing with clients, their families and staff. I will carry out verbal and written directives safely, responsibly, and consistently and will be accountable for my actions. I will conduct myself in a professional manner. This goal lacks a distinct timeline or strategies Preceptorship Goals The following paper outlines my learning goals for my preceptorship. I am hoping to take this last opportunity to make sure that I am fully prepared for the responsibility I will be taking on. I am fully aware that I will be learning for the rest of my career, but this is my chance to ensure I am ready to work at a nurse in whatever field I choose. 1. Enhance Communication Skill I have noticed in all previous clinical experiences that communication is a key skill in nursing. Nurses need to have the ability to communicate with the patients, families, members from other disciplines, and co-workers. This is to ensure effective and appropriate care. I feel that my verbal communication skills are good, but there is always room for improvement. It would be beneficial to learn how to connect with doctors in the event that I would need to. Learning how to contact important persons when required would further enable me to care correctly for my patients.
