Study Plan

My initial study plan highlighted key areas that required addressing and outlined a reading strategy that will enable me to address the areas. My current strength remains medications. My knowledge of pediatric nursing diagnoses has improved, though I still need to work on it to enhance my confidence and clinical practicum experience. To accomplish this, I have developed three new SMART goals that will ensure that I address these weakness areas.

The first goal is to allocate more reading time to these areas. This will enable me to cover more reading areas with each reading session. It will also enhance my flexibility in using varied learning tools when covering these areas. To accomplish this, I will maintain focus, remain disciplined in my studies, and avoid distractions. Discipline is necessary for the creation of a positive work ethic (Cuemath, 2022). The second goal is to use varied resources when reading these areas to enable a better understanding of the subject. The use of varied learning tools and resources facilitates a better understanding of the topic. Several resources are utilizable in this regard. To accomplish this, I will exploit online resources and the school’s library to outsource the required resources on the subject. Another goal is to continuously assess my progress and knowledge on the topic. This will enable me to fast-check my progress to ensure that I remain on the right track and that I am covering the right areas and understanding the content. To accomplish this, I will allocate a few minutes every day after my study sessions to assess my progress for the day. All these activities will de be done concurrently, with assessment time falling at the end of my 7-hour reading time. All assessments will last 25-30 minutes and will be done in the last hour of study. Each reading session will last 7 hours but with breaks. I’ll also allocate an hour for reviewing online resources during each study period.

To accomplish these tasks, I will use online resources such as articles, journals, YouTube videos, and grey literature. According to Brame (2017), videos remain effective in educational learning. I will also use group discussions and peer consultations to boost my understanding of the topic. I will also review case studies on the topic to have a perspective of how clinical cases on the same are handled by professional healthcare providers.
