Professional Role Development
About this subject
On completion of this subject students should be able to achieve the following learning outcomes:
- Identify learning needs that have specific and achievable outcomes appropriate to the work plan
- Formulate a work plan definition that includes a statement of intent, related objectives or outcomes and resources to facilitate timely completion
- Implement, evaluate and present the completed learning plan
- Ensure there is integration of established theory with professional practice, which is congruent with the scope of nursing and agreed learning plan outcomes.
- Theories of role socialization and development
- Role definition
- Performance parameters
- Outcome measures
This subject facilitates the synthesis of previous knowledge into a framework for advanced practice in a nursing specialty. Theories of role socialization and development, as they apply to advanced nursing within the context of the participant’s own sphere of practice are explored. Major perspectives relating to role definition, performance parameters and outcome measures are integrated into advanced practice through an individualized learning plan. A negotiated learning plan comprises the work and assessment for this course. Each participant negotiates a work plan directly related to their own practice area with the course coordinator. The learning plan, therefore, enables participants to examine and evaluate the scope of practice so that they engage in learning that is directly pertinent to their own professional growth and ongoing development.
