The Individual Success Plan (ISP) is an essential component of successful completion of the course and program-related objectives. It serves as a means for students to collaborate with the course faculty and preceptor to establish a plan for achieving practice hours and course goals. In this process, students will also identify the amount of time they will dedicate to meeting these objectives.
To begin the ISP, students should refer to the “NRS-493 Individual Success Plan” resource, which can be found in the Study Materials section as well as in the assignment instructions. This document provides clear instructions and expectations for completing the ISP. It is important for students to carefully follow these guidelines to ensure that their plan is comprehensive and effective.
One key aspect of the ISP is the application of concepts from prior courses. Students are expected to critically examine their current practice and identify areas for improvement by integrating scholarly readings. By doing so, students can develop case reports that showcase their increasing complexity and proficiency in their practice.
Once the ISP has been developed by the student, it must be approved by the course faculty. Following approval, the student should initiate a preconference with both the faculty and the preceptor to review the ISP. This preconference serves as an opportunity for discussion and clarification of the plan, ensuring that all parties are aligned and have a clear understanding of the student’s goals and expectations.
During the preconference, it is important for the student to communicate their goals and intentions clearly. This includes discussing the number of practice hours they have set aside to meet the course objectives. By being upfront about their available time and resources, the student can work collaboratively with the faculty and preceptor to create a plan that is realistic and achievable.
In summary, the ISP is a crucial tool for students to plan and organize their efforts towards successfully completing the course and program-related objectives. By following the provided instructions and integrating concepts from prior courses, students can develop a comprehensive plan that reflects their increasing proficiency in practice. The preconference with the course faculty and preceptor serves as an opportunity for discussion and clarification, ensuring that all parties are aligned in their understanding of the student’s goals and expectations.
