I will attach my assignment from last week that was completed, you will need last week’s assignment to do this week’s assignment. I will attach resources in the uploaded file section. And the rubric. Please fill out the uploaded template.  (Just a little background, my current clinical is at multiple group homes participating in group, and individual therapy with SMI patients).

For this Assignment, you will consider the areas you aim to focus on to gain practical experience as an advanced practice nurse. Then, you will develop a Practicum Experience Plan (PEP) containing the objectives you will fulfill in order to achieve your aims. In this practicum experience, when developing your goals and objectives, be sure to keep psychotherapy approaches and techniques in mind. 

• Review your Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form you submitted last week and think about areas for which you would like to gain application-level experience and/or continued growth as an advanced practice nurse. How can your experiences in the practicum help you achieve these aims?
• Review the information related to developing objectives provided in this week’s Learning Resources. Your practicum learning objectives that you want to achieve during your practicum experience must be:
•  
  • Specific
  • Measurable
  • Attainable
  • Results-focused
  • Time-bound
  • Reflective of the higher-order domains of Bloom’s taxonomy (i.e., application level and above)
  •  

Note: Please make sure your objectives are individualized and outlined in your Practicum Experience Plan (PEP). While you may add previous objectives to continue to work toward. You must have 3 new objectives for each class, each quarter. 

• Select one nursing theory and one counseling/psychotherapy theory to best guide your clinical practice. Explain why you selected these theories. Support your approach with evidence-based literature.
•  
• Create a timeline of practicum activities that demonstrates how you plan to meet these goals and objectives based on your practicum requirements.
