Aim:The aim of this Professional Portfolio assignment is to demonstrate your engagement and learning with the course content. This assessment will enable you to prepare for professional practice as a Registered nurse by meeting the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) requirements of providing evidence of continuing professional development for entry to the register.This Professional Portfolio assignment consists of two parts: Part A is a reflection of your clinical experiences and learning in relation to the course content; and Part B continuing professional development (CPD) plan.Part A Professional Portfolio Reflective Journal (2000 words)This part of the assessment requires you to reflect on previous and current clinical placement experiences, preferred future clinical specialty AND the content of this course.Envision for a moment, you have just been offered a job as a Graduate Registered Nurse at your current clinical placement venue or a chosen clinical specialty area. With this in mind, use reflective practice and draw upon your learning from the content from this course, to write a reflection on how you will prepare for your first year of employment as a Graduate Registered Nurse.Reflective Journal: Please use the following sub-headingsIntroduction (200 words)Introduce the essay, its purpose and what will be broadly discussed. You may like to (briefly) report your clinical experiences and where you will prepare to work at. Provide any relevant personal details about yourself (e.g. work experience, other qualifications/certificates, prior clinical experiences). State the aim/s and structure of this essay.Seminar reflection (400)This course requires attendance at an in-person seminar where a set questionnaire needs to be completed. During week eight of the course, you will be asked to complete the questionnaire again. Please describe and reflect on your results. Please attach your completed questionnaires and the activities you completed during the seminar as an appendix to this assignment.Placement reflection (500 words)Using the Gibbs reflective cycle, reflect on your learning needs to successfully work as a Graduate Registered Nurse at your current or previous clinical placement venue or a chosen clinical specialty area by including the following (provide equal word scope to each point):- Describe your (learning) experience;- Discuss your thoughts and feelings about the experience;- Evaluate your experience by discussing the positive and negative aspects;- Analyse your experience to make sense of the situations;- Conclude what you learned and what you could have done differently; and- Develop an action plan, or general changes you might find appropriate to ensure success working as a Graduate Registered Nurse at your current clinical placement venue or a chosen clinical specialty area.Placement transition (400 words)Envision that you have been appointed a position as a Registered Nurse to your current clinical placement venue or a chosen clinical specialty area. Using the placement reflection (above), discuss what you will need to do to ensure a successful transition to practice. In doing so, clearly identify your goals during your first year of clinical practice and identify how you will achieve your goals. As discussed in Topic 5, learning activities are most effective when a range of activities are selected. You may therefore like to consider activities that help you develop clinical expertise in your clinical area, leadership skills, emotional intelligence, in addition to mandatory requirements. This section will inform Part B of this Professional PortfolioWorking as a Graduate Registered Nurse (500 words)Now consider that you are working as a Graduate Registered Nurse. Discuss how your scope of practice as a Graduate Registered Nurse will differ from a Registered Nurse Student and how you will ensure that your practice is safe, evidence-based and patient-centred. Please provide a referenced discussion.Part B Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Plan (equiv. 4000 words)This part of the assessment requires you to develop an individualised continuing professional development (CPD) plan for your first year of practice, as a Graduate Registered Nurse. This section should identify activities based on issues discussed in Part A.The Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Registration Standard sets out the minimum requirements for CPD for nurses and midwives (NMBA 2016a). To meet this registration standard, you must complete a minimum of 20 hours of CPD per registration period (NMBA 2016a). The NMBA requires you to engage in CPD activities and encourages you to spread these activities over the course of the year (NMBA 2016b). You must keep records of your CPD for a period of five years from the date you completed the CPD (NMBA 2016a). All CPD records must be available for audit or as part of an investigation arising from a compliant (NMBA 2016a). The NMBA has developed a self-directed CPD evidence record that you can use for planning and recording your CPD (NMBA 2016c).Using the NMBA self-directed CPD evidence template, develop your CPD plan as a Graduate Registered Nurse. Your CPD plan should identify 20 hours of CPD. Your plan should document:- Identified learning needs with clear links to the Registered nurse standards for practice.- An action plan to meet the identified learning needs.- The type of activity you plan to undertake to meet the identified learning needs, the rationale for the type of activity you listed.- A short description of the planned activity.- A reflection statement of how the CPD activity will facilitate your transition to professional practice.- Evidence that you will be used to demonstrate satisfactory completion of the CPD activity.- Anticipated CPD hours each activity will take.
