Marta's Nursing Portfolio

A Professional Practice

Program Outcome:

To assume responsibility and accountability for professional practice.



I assumed responsibility to my learning when I met all of the health care requirements asked of nursing students by PLU.  I completed a CPR certification course, and received the necessary immunizations before the deadline.

AIDS Training

In nursing 220 I completed 7 hours of AIDS education training to be knowledgeable on the subject prior to interaction with a clinical setting. 

  • Other certifications:  CPR, Nurse Tech License

Professional Clinical Practice

In all of my clinical rotations I was successful in demonstrating professional practice.  In Adult Health I and II, Mental Health, Childbearing and Child-rearing, Situations with Communities, and my senior practicum in the emergency department, I have shown my responsibility and accountability.  I have always been on time and prepared for clinicals, dressed appropriately and professionally, wearing the PLU uniform and name badge, and displaying a professional demeanor. 


Future responsibility and accountability

As a new RN venturing into the workforce, I will take these values of accountability and responsibility which PLU has helped to enforce in me, and I will portray myself professionally in everything I do.  When dealing with conflict, with inappropriate coworkers, or chaotic work environment, I will use the skills and intrinsic values for professionalism to deal with these issues effectively and appropriately.

In my nursing 260 course, 6 other students and I were required to work on several groups projects together throughout the semester.  To be clear on what we expected from each other, we all signed a group contract which would hold us accountable.
