Professional Experience Plan
For this Assignment, you develop a Professional Experience Plan (PEP) to outline how your involvement in the practicum will contribute to your growth as a professional and allow you to hone your specialization knowledge and skills. The PEP consists of two or three objectives related to professional development that you will address during your practicum experience.
To prepare:
As necessary, review the information related to developing objectives provided in last week’s Learning Resources.
Revisit the objective(s) you crafted for last week’s Discussion, and reflect on the ideas exchanged in the forum. Refine the objective(s) as needed for the practicum experience, making sure they reflect the higher order domains of Bloom’s Taxonomy (i.e., Application level and above). Note: You will be submitting two to three professional development objectives as part of this Assignment.
Think more deeply about areas for which you would like to gain Application-level experience and/or continued professional growth. How can your experiences in the practicum help you achieve these aims?
To complete your Professional Experience Plan:
Record the required information in each area of the Professional Experience Plan Template, including two or three objectives you will use to facilitate your professional development during the practicum. Include your intended Practicum Project focus.
Include the breakdown of the 144 hours between the practicum experience and the project. Consult your Faculty and Preceptor if less than 50% of the hours is needed for either the practicum or the project.
As the term progresses and the hours between the practicum and project need to be adjusted, consult your Faculty. Include the rationale for editing hours in the Practicum Experience Journal.

NURS 6600: Capstone Synthesis Practicum Nurse Executive
Professional Experience Plan
Course Description
Students in this course apply the MSN curriculum experience by translating knowledge into practice through participation in professional activities and the development of a culminating project. Students apply theory, principles, and concepts related to the nurse executive specialization in order to enhance nursing practice and promote positive social change. Because their project is enacted at a practicum site, students have the potential to make a substantive impact within an existing healthcare organization. Students conclude the course with a professional portfolio representing their development as nurse executives.
Note: This course requires a minimum of 144 practicum hours.*
*Students will divide hours in half: 72 hours in practicum and 72 hours in project-related activities. Students may alter the division of hours in the practicum and project after consulting with their Preceptor and Faculty. The change of hours should be reflected in the journal entries submitted in Weeks 3, 7, and 11.

Objective 2:
Objective 3:
Note: Practicum professional development objectives should also be listed in your Practicum Experience Journal.
Section 3: Projected Timeline/Schedule
Estimate how many hours you expect to work on your practicum each week. Per the practicum guidelines, you may use half your hours for professional development and up to half for your Practicum Project (i.e., 72 hours to accomplish your practicum professional development objectives and 72 hours to complete your Practicum Project objectives). If you determine that hours need to be divided differently as the term progresses, consult with your Preceptor and Faculty. If approval is given to alter the division of hours, this work should be reflected in the journal entries.
This timeline is intended as a planning tool; your actual schedule may differ from the projections you are making now.
I intend to complete the 144 practicum hours according to the following timeline/schedule:
| Number of Hours Projected for Week | Number of Weekly Hours for Professional Development | Number of Weekly Hours for Practicum Project | |
| Week 1 | |||
| Week 2 | |||
| Week 3 | |||
| Week 4 | |||
| Week 5 | |||
| Week 6 | |||
| Week 7 | |||
| Week 8 | |||
| Week 9 | |||
| Week 10 | |||
| Week 11 | |||
| Total Hours (must meet the following requirements) | 144 Hours |
