NURS6003 Week 11 Part 6 Finalizing the Plan
Assignment: Academic Success and Professional Development Plan.
Part 6: Finalizing the Plan
At some point in every construction project, efforts turn
from design and the focus moves to actual construction. With the vision in
place and the tools secured, the blueprint can be finalized and approved. Then
it is time to put on hardhats and begin work.
Throughout the course you have developed aspects of your
Academic and Professional Development Plan. You have thought a great deal about
your vision and goals, your academic and professional network of support,
research strategies and other tools you will need, the integrity of your work,
and the value of consulting the work of others. With your portfolio in place,
it is now time to finalize your blueprint for success.
Much as builders remain cognizant of the building standards
as they plan and begin construction, nurses must remain mindful of the formal
standards of practice that govern their specialties. A good understanding of
these standards can help ensure that your success plan includes any steps
necessary to excel within your chosen specialty.
In this Assignment you will continue developing your
Academic Success and Professional Development Plan by developing the final
component–a review of your specialty standards of practice. You will also
submit your final version of the document, including Parts 1–5.
