Practicum Experience Plan (PEP)
A practicum course is usually planned way ahead of starting and schedule, it is supervised by a person capable of teaching the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner “the
ropes” on how to teach, diagnose and how to gain confidence to treat patients that presents with mental health issues. The goal of the practicum experience is to create a platform for the student to synthesize, integrate, formally apply empirical skills, knowledge gained, and trainings acquired in courses, to gain overall professional experience in a different public healthcare environments.
Practicum experiences provides opportunities for students to observe the nitty-gritty of the profession and thus, learn from professionals in the PMHNP world. The expectation is that I will contribute to the community's development while helping to strengthen the solution of public health problems by being a vital asset to the patient population and my organization. Since I am new to the mental health world, my expectations are that this practicum experience will provide the opportunity to hone in the skills I have learned so far; and help me create a foundation for gaining knowledge in a new area of specialization.
As I now know, practicum placements and clinical sites are strategically hand-picked for the purpose of helping students become great practitioners in their chosen fields. The substance of every clinical site matters; these sites are usually selected for the life changing roles they are expected to play in student’s lives. Students are expected to approach their practicum duties solemnly. Clinical sites usually help form basics and foundations for students. I have been on my clinical site for two weeks, I am more resolved than ever to become a reliable and dependable PMHNP, being on this clinical assignment has exposed my mind to the strength of this program and I look forward to a refreshing career.
