Strategies for Academic Portfolio

One measure for integrating academic-based activities with achievements in my clinical nursing practice progression is the development of a plan for my academic and nurse practice roles. The plan is essential in ensuring a comprehensive accomplishment of the necessary assignments before the identified deadlines. In this context, there is the capability to eliminate the need to re-evaluate what was not accomplished and make modifications (Ghasemi et al., 2020). An example is the university’s professional development plan that describes goals to be accomplished alongside daily and weekly milestones (Thompson et al., 2020).

Another measure involves the creation of a professional portfolio. Through the developed portfolio, there is the highlighting of the specific pathway that one is required to follow in reaching one’s goals. The portfolio acts as the perceptible impression that strives to integrate the specified academic journey with the nurse professional practice journey (Tan et al., 2022). As a result, there is the enabled prospect of assessing where one expects to be in the future regarding professional achievements, personal growth, and satisfaction. An example is a portfolio that incorporates Academic Goal Attainment with Continuing Personal Development to ensure continued compliance with adherence to academic journey competencies and professional practice as a registered nurse.

The all-inclusive goals can be integrated within Walden University’s accentuation on social change via a description of the underlying skill set extents within professional nursing practice. Another integrated aspect involves continued academic learning to ensure a continuum of improvements in the provision of evidence-based, safe, and quality person-centered care. Another integrated context is highlighting the expected achievements in attaining my advanced degree while also continuing to improve my expertise levels within the clinical practice (Daphney et al., 2020). The integrated elements are based on the developed strong associations through a holistic view that extends the use of effective communication and use of consensus decision-making, critical thinking, and problem-solving.
