Hello, I am trying to make practicum objectives for the NICU. My professor is looking for more advanced thinking that will help me when I graduate and succeed on my NCLEX. I thought the ones I wrote were good but she said they were too broad and need more of, "what do I want from this practicum?" feel. I am not good with making objectives sound "nice and neat". I know what I want from my practicum but I do not know how to word it the way she wants. I want to 1. be able to effectively communicate with families about difficult inquires, such as why the parents cannot hold their baby, or why does their baby have so many tubes coming out of them? and answer them in a way they will be able to understand and manage. 2. have effective communication between my entire healthcare team but focus on physician communication. I want to not be immediate by the physician and establish a good relationship, in order to have effective plans of care. 3. be able to manage my time wisely and efficiently. Making sure I focus on my most acute patient but not forgetting to pay attention to my less acute patients. 4. be able to make care plans that are going to improve my patient quality of life. 5. review new and current evidence based practices that will not only help my patient succeed in their recovery but also to add to my own knowledge library to use in the future.
