This assignment has two parts; reflections and goals. The goals section has two subparts: 3P goals and clinical goals. They do not need to be in APA format, but please choose a format that is organized and visually pleasing. You are not limited to a word document; PDF are acceptable..

• Reflection: 150-250 words
  • Reflect upon what was learned and briefly write about your thoughts. Include:
    • If no material was new to you, what do you wish was covered instead? How to find preceptors and how the school is planning on helping students.
    • what are your greatest concerns or greater perceived challenges for the second half of the FNP program? Challenges, work-life school situation
• Goals: (Separate from the above 250 word count)
  • provide three specific goals to help guide your success in two areas
  • Goals for the 3P courses: (three goals, bullet points are acceptable)
  • Goals for clinical experiences: (three goals, bullet points are acceptable)
• When writing your goals, try to keep in mind principles of SMART goals (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant/realistic, and time-oriented)

Some Examples: (but remember you need 3 of each goal type)

1) My first 3P goal is to study pathophysiology for 6 hours every week by setting aside 60 min every night from 8-8:30 for six nights a week.

2) My first clinical goal is to contact 7 different clinics each week to look for a pediatric preceptor until I have found someone.

3) My second clinical goal is to decrease my work to part-time so that I can do 40 extra hours in my pediatric rotation in October-December 2022 so that I can be more marketable in a pediatric practice after graduation.

My goal will be the same as above, make more time to study, and look for a preceptors for peds, OB, and primary care.

Expectations

• Length: 150-250 words for the reflection, and provide at least three SMART goals for the 3P courses and three goals for the clinical courses
