Revisit the goals and objectives from your Practicum Experience Plan. Explain the degree to which you achieved each during the practicum experience.

Objective 1: To achieve confidence in using evidence-based research in my interaction with patients, allowing me to provide them with the most up-to-date clinical information. One of the things I learned from this experience was how to execute more advanced directive planning. With the directives of my clinical preceptor, I was able to establish the symptoms and indicators of several mental health conditions, including bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, and schizophrenia. Using the most current and up-todate clinical data, I want to focus more on enhancing my ability to identify the symptoms of bipolar illness and schizophrenia, which appear to be prevalent in adults. Objective 2: To utilize the technologies available to enhance and optimize patient care. Within ten weeks of my clinical rotation and preceptor's confirmation, I could identify the correct screening instrument in clinical settings. During my rotation, however, no screening tools were used. Coursework and intensive reading was the only approach I could master screening technologies and how they are applied. There is a need, therefore, for a bigger investment in sophisticated clinical instruments, which I am looking forward to working with them. Objective 3: To have a better grasp of mental illness, its progression, treatments, and diagnosis, thus enhancing my career advancement as a nurse. An evaluation demonstrated that I could identify and prioritize the most likely diagnosis for patients in 10 weeks. My clinical rotation was part of learning about probable and establishing correct diagnoses for patients at a hospital. There were few teenagers to deal with, but I had much experience working with adults and the elderly.
