Week 6: Capstone Research
Facilitating Professional Development Through the Practicum
Now that you have submitted your Practicum Project Plan, it is time to pause and think about your professional growth during the practicum experience.
At the beginning of this course, you established professional development objectives to guide your activities in the practicum. How do the objectives you identified relate to your vision for yourself as a nurse executive? As you navigate toward achievement of these objectives, what are you learning about yourself personally and professionally?
1. This week, you evaluate your progress toward meeting your practicum professional development objectives and consider how you may need to adjust your activities to achieve those objectives.
In addition, once you have received approval of your Practicum Project Plan (submitted in Week 5), you may begin implementation of your project.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
· Evaluate achievement of practicum professional development objectives
· Develop solutions to address challenges during the practicum
· Describe the role and functions of a nurse executive

Discussion Part(3 Pages)
Practicum professional Development Objectives: Progress Appraisal
The practicum provides the opportunity not only to design a project but to develop your own skills, competencies, and practical understanding of the nurse executive role. How have your experiences thus far contributed to your growth? What difficulties, if any, have you experienced, and how might they affect the achievement of your practicum professional development objectives? In what ways has your Preceptor mentored you and illuminated what it means to be a nurse executive?

1. In this Discussion, you check in with yourself and with colleagues to determine how you are advancing toward your practicum professional development objectives.
To prepare:
· Reflect on the practicum professional development objectives you developed and outlined in your Professional Experience Plan in Week 2.
· Keeping in mind the practicum activities you have engaged in thus far, consider the following questions:
· How have these activities helped to promote your professional development?
· How were potential barriers/challenges in the practice setting managed?
· Are you satisfied with your progress toward meeting your objectives? If not, what will you do to ensure you achieve them before the end of your practicum experience? As a reminder, you must complete all of your practicum hours on or before Day 5 of Week 10.
· What challenges or unexpected opportunities have arisen at your practicum site? How has this affected your professional development?
· Think about the experiences you may have in the forthcoming weeks. Do you foresee any particular challenges on the horizon? If so, what is your plan for addressing those challenges?
· Think about the time you have spent with your Preceptor. How has this time enhanced or changed your understanding of the role and functions of a nurse executive?
By Day 3
2. Post an assessment of your progress toward achieving your practicum professional development objectives, including how your involvement in specific practicum activities has contributed to your development.
