Women's Health Practicum

Practicum: Journal Entry
As a future advanced practice nurse, it is important that you are able to connect your classroom experience to your Practicum Experience. By applying the concepts you

study in the classroom to clinical settings, you enhance your professional competency. Each week you complete an Assignment such as Journal Entries or SOAP Notes that

prompts you to reflect on your Practicum Experiences and relate them to the material presented in the classroom. This week you begin documenting your Practicum

Experiences in your Practicum Journal.

To prepare for this course’s Practicum Experience, address the following in your Practicum Journal:

Select and explain a nursing theory or feminist perspective to guide your clinical practice.

Develop goals and objectives for the Practicum Experience in this course.

When developing your goals and objectives, be sure to keep women’s health guidelines and best practices in mind.
