allowed
1. List 5 professional development opportunities that are available to improve your professional
practice.
1) Postgraduate studies
2) Participating in online groups/chats
3) In-service education
4) Attending Nursing workshops and seminars
5) Annual competency assessment, for example, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
6) Wound training
2. Explain how you evaluate your own work and why it is necessary to do so.
I collect all feedback from my supervisor & work colleagues in regard to my work performance. I
would then breakdown my job description into specific tasks & determine the standard to which
each task should be performed at. I would evaluate my performance of these tasks using the
feedback I have received & my own judgment of my abilities/performance. I identify any spaces
between expected & required performance & my actual performance & I would take action to
address them. I would seek assistance from my supervisor for extra training or education
sessions to expand my skills & knowledge. It is necessary to identify own limitations, strengths &
weaknesses to help with your work performance. Self-evaluation helps determine whether the
skills I currently have are enough or whether they need to be improved.
3. Describe 2 models of professional reflection and describe why is it important for nurses to
participate in reflection.
“Studies have shown that nurses who take the time to reflect on their daily experiences provide
enhanced nursing care, have a better understanding of their actions, which in return develops their
professional skills”. (Hansebo & Kihlgren, 2001).
1) Gibbs model suggests “How a full structed analysis of a situation could take place prompt
questions at each stage”. (Clark et al., 2009) This model is used to help people make
sense of situations so that people can understand what they did well on and how they could
improve their performance.

2) Atkins and Murphy model of reflection practice is a way of studying and learning of your
own experiences to benefit the way you work. ("LibGuides: Reflective Practice: Some
models of reflection", 2019)

3. Develop a schedule
This is used to organise all aspects of a professional development program
including the individual & team’s needs.
These issues should be addressed
- Improvement needs in relation to specific jobs or roles
- Goals & objectives to be achieved from professional development
- Performance standards to be achieved
- Resources required
- Time management
5. Conduct an evaluation.
This is to ensure that the greatest benefit is obtained & to identify potential
improvements & gain extra knowledge for the future.
6. Identify what the acronym SMART stands for when goal setting
Smart - A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal. To
set a specific goal you must answer the six “W’s”: Who, What, When, Where & Why.
Measurable - Establish a standard for measuring progress toward the accomplishment of each
goal you set. When you measure your progress, you stay on track, reach your time lines &
experience achievement.
Attainable - When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways
you can reach them. You develop the attitudes, abilities, skills to reach them. You begin seeing
previously overlooked opportunities to bring yourself closer to the achievement of your goals.
Relevant - To be realistic, a goal must represent an objective toward which you are
both willing & able to work. A goal can be both high & realistic; you are the only one who can

Written Assessment Task
decide just how high your goal should be. But be sure that every goal represents significant
progress.
Time - A goal should be grounded within a time frame. With no time frame tied to it there’s no
sense of urgency. Your goal is probably realistic if you truly believe that it can be accomplished.
Additional ways to know if your goal is realistic is to determine if you have accomplished anything
similar in the past or ask yourself what conditions would have to exist to accomplish this goal.
I want to have completed Dip. Of Nursing by 2020 & be enrolled in university by 2021.
Measure of progress/ performance- How you will know you have achieved it?
I will know that I have achieved my goal when I am a fully qualified Enrolled Nurse &
have been accepted into University.

11. List at least 4 different types of learning styles and describe (150 words) which one you relate
to and why
Visual Learner: A visual learner prefers to use images, pictures, videos & view demonstrations to
understand & gain knowledge. They may also need to map out or write out their thoughts in order
to really process what they are thinking.
Logical Learner: Logical learners has a very distinctive way of learning. They are the individuals
who want to understand the reason behind content or skills & tend to enjoy games like chess &
doing puzzles.
Verbal Learner: Verbal learners gain the most knowledge under verbal instruction & writing.
These learners are typically those that go into public speaking, writing, journalism & debating.
Physical Learner: Physical learners are extremely animated & always need to be moving. They
learn best by going through the signs of what they are learning, gaining more understanding when
things are more hands on.
I see myself as a ‘Physical Learner”. I gain a more understanding of things when I’m more hands
on & doing it myself, not just watching someone else do it. I like to be moving & using my body
when learning new things, I think it helps it sink in more & helps me keep active at the same time.
By giving things ago myself, it helps me grasp the concept quicker. Even when failing to do the
action/activity I learn from my mistakes, teaching me what’s right & wrong for next time. When
sitting in a class room & being taught by slideshows, white boards, & lectures, I seem to get bored
easily & lose interest. On my learning community day, I feel as though I am at my best when
gaining extra knowledge, as majority of the day is more hands on.
