How to write an IDP (Individual Developmental Plan)

Published

Every year I have to write an IDP and it's so confusing! I can't figure out what to put in the area under Developmental Objectives. I was informed last year that by stating daily duties; patient assessments, administering medications, etc. does not apply. Please Help!

Specializes in PACU, pre/postoperative, ortho.

Is this for an annual eval? They're probably looking for something along the lines of how you intend to continue professional development as a nurse. Perhaps something like joining a committee/counsel for your dept, additional certifications/education, etc.
