Self-assessment of professional competencies will help the graduate student guide their learning experiences in the executive practicum. The following competencies reflect selected core competencies for the student in NR631. These competencies are adapted from the competencies identified by The American Organization of Nurse Executives. It is anticipated that the student will identify a number of areas of development at the initial assessment. Goals to meet these needs will guide development of the Learning Agreement.

At the conclusion of the practicum, the student completes the assessment. While it is expected that a student will show growth in the development of skills of the nurse executive, it is not expected that all development needs will be fully met.

The student will share the assessment tool with the nurse mentor at the beginning and conclusion of the practicum. This assignment serves as the basis for Week 8 threaded discussion.
