Overview: Professional Development Plan/
This course aims to help you utilize quality improvement processes and management tools to
improve client care outcomes, partly by improving the nurse’s working environment as you make
and implement good decisions. Now you will apply those processes and tools to yourself by
creating a professional development plan.
Look back at your Professional Development Inventory and Leadership Self-Assessment from
module one. Use these tools as you develop your own professional development plan for both
short term and long term success. You will develop your own personal nursing philosophy, using
previously developed philosophies (cite sources). You will then set short term and long term goals
keeping in mind intrinsic and extrinsic forces that may aid or hinder your progress.
