Planning is the key to successful completion of this course and program-related objectives. The Individual Success Plan (ISP) assignment requires early collaboration with the course faculty and your clinical preceptor. Students must establish a plan for successful completion of:
The required 50 community direct clinical practice experience hours, 50 leadership direct clinical practice experience hours, and 25 indirect care experience hours.
Completion of work associated with program competencies.
Work associated with completion of the student's capstone project change proposal.
Students will use the Individual Success Plan to develop an individual plan for completing practice hours and course objectives. As a part of this process, students will identify the number of hours set aside to meet course goals.
Student expectations and instructions for completing the ISP document are provided in the "NRS-465 Individual Success Plan" template.
The Individual Success Plan is a clinical document that is necessary to meet clinical requirements for this course. Therefore, the form should be submitted with the preceptor's hand-written signature. A typed electronic signature will not be accepted.
Students should apply concepts from prior courses to critically examine and improve their current practice. Students are expected to integrate scholarly readings to develop case reports that demonstrate increasingly complex and proficient practice.
