Reflection On Competency Improvement Plan

Improved Essays
After numerous hours of self-reflection, what follows is my competency improvement plan. The plan focuses on competencies I would like to improve over the next few years, as well as a few I would like to maintain. My approach was to focus on areas that would improve the whole person and not just skills related to professional growth. This self-assessment required a thorough self-critique of multiple areas of my life and many personal qualities. Included in the plan, is the list of competencies as well as why I selected them, an evaluation of my current status in each competency, my targeted level of success in each area, a list of resources to assist me in my goals, and my overall plan to develop the discussed competencies.

    (Hagedorn & Quinn, 2004, p. 2). According to Hagedorn (2004), “Health promotion, knowledge of disease prevention, teaching and counseling functions, and patient advocacy” are necessary skills described by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners; however, there is no mention of the NP-patient relationship in their statement (p. 2). The NP uses seven core competencies to provide care to their patients; these competencies are established by the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) (Hagedorn & Quinn, 2004). The NONPF states that these competencies are the “gold standard” for creating NP programs that focus on caring in the provider-patient relationship and further establish that NPs treat patients holistically and not…

Most of the mortalities are preventable. To be able to give high quality care, nurses must broaden their scope of practice and be able to coordinate care across teams of healthcare professionals.

    Goal #3: Learn how to be more decisive in decision-making situations As a people pleaser, I have difficulty making decisions because I want to make sure everyone’s opinions and ideas are valued. However, this often leads to internal conflict because I take too long to make decisions, out of fear that I am making the wrong decision, hurting other peoples’ feelings or being overly assertive. I find that I seek approval from others in order to validate my opinions in decision-making situations. Being more decisive will help me become a more confident and purpose-driven leader, which will demonstrate to my team members that I can lead them and that they can trust the choices I make. I will know that I have achieved this goal when others recognize my promptness in making decisions.…
