Using the “Nursing Education Practicum Documentation (NEPD) Form,” write objectives for what you will accomplish in this topic’s competency – Strategies to Facilitate Learning and how you will evaluate your accomplishment.

Be sure to read the instructions (in blue font at the top of the columns on the first page) on how to use the form before you begin. The NEPD form uses the nursing process and follows the format of a nursing care plan, so this should be familiar to you. Under the student weekly reflection addressing the identified competency, reflect on how you met the competency in practicum and how the experience improved your nurse educator skills.

You will turn in this NEPD form multiple times throughout this course. Each week in the gradebook, your instructor will upload a version of your submitted assignment with comments. Download this version and add to it. Each NEPD document that is submitted must have the previous NEPD work along with the instructor comments.

The written objectives, resources, and criteria for evaluation columns (first three columns) must be posted prior to the clinical experience for the topic.

Complete the fourth column (evaluation) at the end of each topic’s clinical experience as you evaluate how you met the objectives you wrote.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
