LEARNING PLAN- Semester 2

NAME:

Jaspreet Kaur

DATE: March 2014

Area That Requires Development:

Learning Goal

- One area that I need help in is reading doctor orders. I find that sometimes I
need assistance from others in this.

-become more familiar with nursing language/

abbreviations

-Another area that I need help in is being more prepared before I come onto
the floor. Even if this means having a pen on me or my blood pressure cuff. I
find that these little things that I forget really slow me down.

- being prepared for the clinical setting so that I can

provide the best care.

Strategies and Resources to be Utilized:

-

To help me better understand and read doctors order, I will make it a must
to go over different abbreviations every day. By going over 5-10
abbreviations every day, this will broaden my nursing vocabulary and
help me to understand doctors orders better so that I can provided the
necessary treatment required.

Evaluation Criteria
-

I will get peer feedback

from my group members
and clinical teacher to
know if I have
improved.

Area That Requires Development

Learning Goal

Over the semester, I have progressed in many different

ways, improving my skills in school. Although I try my best
in class there are several things I can do to improve that I
have listed below. To begin with, I would like to improve on
my time management skills. If I were to manage my time
effectively, then this would allow me to do my readings
before class so I could be well prepared for any discussions.
Another goal that I have set for myself is, I would like to go
through the checklist faster. After practicing for a longer
period of time, I will be more familiar with the systems in
the body and when a problem occurs within my patients, I
will know automatically which checklist to do. My last goal
that would help me improve on my pervious goal is to put in
more hours in the practice lab. If I were to go to lab more
often, then this would help me improve on the flow of my
checklist.

Organization skills
Improve in taking vital signs
Practice my nursing skills regularly so that I am ready for
clinical

Strategies and Resources to be Utilized:

-

I will go to the nursing lab for at least 8 hours a week

where I will be able to practice my nursing skills.
I can also ask my clinical teacher for assistance where
needed to ensure that my goals are met.
I will practice taking vital signs at home to ensure that I
become faster at this nursing skill

Evaluation Criteria:
-

I will time myself at the end to see if I

have improved in taking vital signs.
I will also ask for feedback from my
peers to help me achieve this goal
