Academic Professional Portfolio
Students will begin developing a portfolio reflecting their academic and professional accomplishments. The portfolio will begin in N314: Introduction to Professional Practice and will be completed in N443: Leadership and Management. The purpose of the portfolio is to 鈥渟howcase鈥 credentials not included in a resume.
The portfolio is a biographical account of the student鈥檚 educational career at Lakeview College of 黑料老司机 (i.e., goals, objectives met, improvements in writing and nursing skills). Collections of papers, Care Plans, and PowerPoint handouts should be included to demonstrate the student鈥檚 best ideas, work, and accomplishments during the program. The student鈥檚 progress through the program will be reflected, which may be helpful during employment interviews. The portfolio will become an excellent place to keep all certificates of completion, (e.g., CPR, conferences, in-services) and health records.
Students will want to ask faculty for references to include in their portfolio. A letter of reference-recommendation form has been developed for students to complete and give to faculty. Students must give faculty at least two weeks鈥 notice when requesting a letter of reference/recommendation.
