  2. Communication

  3. Assessment

  4. Planning

  5. Caring Interventions

  6. Managing

For each standard, choose ONE competency and complete a comprehensive self-assessment using Patricia Benners From Novice to Expert theory (novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, or expert) and determine your level of competence.

  1. Identify your strengths and weaknesses and describe actions that would support improvement and advancement of your skills in professional behavior and communication capabilities.

  2. Provide examples to justify your appraised strengths and weaknesses. Discuss methods of continued growth in each of your areas of weakness to advance to a higher level of competency as described in Benner.

  3. Create a final paper using APA writing conventions; include a title page, conclusion, and reference page. For your professional development plan, please include all six competencies. Professional behavior, communication, assessment, planning, care intervention and managing. These are the building blocks for your self-assessment and strategic plan for improvement.
