Preparing for Advanced Practice- Anticipating Three Ps and Clinical Demands

Preparing for Advanced Practice- Anticipating Three Ps and Clinical Demands

I am excited to start this course, and I can’t wait to get in class and pursue my dream career. After listening to the lecture, I was surprised to know that we were going to learn more about telehealth. I had the impression that telehealth was only applicable during the COVID-19 era when patient physical visits were restricted. However, I am open to learning skills and knowledge of how to help my patients using telehealth. In addition, I am excited to learn how to employ telehealth in the event that a circumstance similar to COVID-19 arises in the future.

Taking into consideration my work-life-school situation, my greatest concern is whether I will be able to balance my time at work, school, and home. I plan to sacrifice my time and put more focus on pursuing this course. This means I have to reduce the time I spend in my social life and use any spare time I get to study. I am worried that I may strain myself because of the long hours I will be spending in school and at work, which may ultimately cause health problems. However, I am up for the task and ready to give it my all, for nothing comes easy.

Goals

My first 3P goal is to read ahead in my resource textbook one chapter a week.

My second 3P goal is to set aside 5 hours a week in which I will spend 60 minutes 5 nights a week from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. to study pharmacology.

My third 3P goal is to develop 35 flashcards in a week for every P class.

Clinical Goals

My first clinical goal is not to overextend my work to part-time but to reduce the work so that I can create 18 hours a week for clinical practice sessions.

My second clinical aim is to visit 5-7 clinics per week and search for pediatric, family medicine, and women’s health preceptors until I find someone for each clinical.

My third clinical goal is to complete 40 additional hours during my primary care clinical in the outpatient speciality.

In week 7 or 8, FNP program leadership or senior faculty will give a live or recorded lecture on upcoming course requirements, including an introduction to the “Three Ps” (Pathophysiology, Pharmacology, and Physical Assessment) and the clinical course expectations.

Students should attend the lecture live if possible (which affords them a chance to participate and ask questions) or alternatively, the student may watch the recording. The dates and times, as well as the Zoom link and recording, will be posted in this document: LINK
