Provide an introduction that introduces your practice area, role and experience
Clinical Portfolio
To support your assessment you must submit to the lecturer a portfolio that summarises your practice to show you have actively participated in emergent situations in your cardiovascular nursing practice location. The portfolio must include the episode, referral process, analysis of the event, reflection on your own learning, which may have arisen from review of the literature and key discussion with colleagues. A good way to set your portfolio out is to:
Provide an introduction that introduces your practice area, role and experience
Three emergent “life threatening” / “deteriorating patient” events that you have been involved in
You should introduce each event to set the scene
Discuss your role in the event and rationalise the treatment given
Conclude with critical reflection upon the event, what you learnt, what you did well, what you would or would not do next time
Include review of literature relevant to each event
Submit your portfolio to the assignments folder
Workplace assessor feedback is highly regarded for this task but is not mandatory.
Remember the portfolio is meant to demonstrate your knowledge, skills and ability to critically reflect upon your practice and knowledge. Please contact the unit coordinator if you have any concerns about completing this assessment.
