Week 3
Hello everyone,
This week, you have your first mind map assignment. The focus will be cardiovascular
disorders. Within the assignment, you will see a list of disorders to choose from. You will
pick one topic and create a mind map. You can use any template for the mind map and
some examples have been provided for you in this week's learning resources. Some key
points to remember when completing this assignment:
1. Ensure that you follow the rubric and address all sections.
2. Once you complete the mind map and submit the assignment, it is your responsibility to
ensure that I can open it and read it clearly. Make sure that the text is large enough and it
does not link to a site needing a log in. If I can't read the text or access the assignment, I will
add a comment in the grading section and it will need to be resubmitted. The resubmission
will have the grade deducted per policy.
3. This assignment must be in the form of a mindmap. If it is turned in as an essay, it will not
be graded and you will receive a comment to resubmit as a mindmap.

Clinical Skills Self-Assessment
Before embarking on any professional or academic activity, it is important to understand the background, knowledge, and experience you bring to it. You might ask yourself, “What do I already know? What do I need to know? And what do I want to know?” This critical self-reflection is especially important for developing clinical skills such as those for advanced practice nursing.
The Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) Clinical Skills List and Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form provided in the Learning Resources can be used to celebrate your progress throughout your practicum and identify skills gaps. The list covers all necessary skills you should demonstrate during your practicum experiences.
Just as you have in previous practicum courses, for this Assignment, you assess where you are now in your clinical skill development and make plans for this practicum. Specifically, you will identify strengths and opportunities for improvement regarding the required practicum skills. In this practicum experience, when developing your goals and objectives, be sure to keep assessment and diagnostic reasoning in mind.
