This paper is on CLINICAL SKILLS SELF ASSESSMENT. It is worth noting that, Before embarking on any professional or academic activity, you must understand the background, knowledge, and experience you bring to it. Therefore, for this task, on self-assessment of clinical skills, one must understand which skills one is equipped with before investing much time in acquiring new skills. Understanding yourself will give you an advantage and boost your self-confidence while acquiring new skills.
CLINICAL SKILLS SELF ASSESSMENT
You might ask yourself, “What do I already know? What do I need to know? And what do I want to know?” This critical self-reflection is especially important for developing clinical skills such as those for advanced practice nursing. The Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) Clinical Skills List and Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form provided in the Learning Resources can be used to celebrate your progress throughout your practicum and identify skills gaps. The list covers all the necessary skills you should demonstrate during your practicum experiences.
Just as you did in PRAC 6635, for this Assignment, you assess where you are now in your clinical skill development and make plans for this practicum. Specifically, you will identify strengths and opportunities for improvement regarding the required practicum skills. In this practicum experience, keep assessment and diagnostic reasoning in mind when developing your goals and objectives.
