The only barrier this year is finding enough time to schedule learning opportunities.

As noted above and including ongoing informal supervision as needed. I have started to allot time blocks in my schedule for learning opportunities and find the e- learning courses fit well with my current job. My supervisor greatly supports learning opportunities and makes efforts to allow me to attend seminars offered in VI Health. I am in a leadership/teaching role, where staff will often shadow with me. I take the opportunity to learn from my younger staff and medical residents as well. I also encourage our team psychiatrist to offer in-services on various topics to the team at our weekly staff meetings....good learning opportunities.

Please provide at least one specific example of HOW you applied this new learning into your psychiatric nursing practice over the past year.

Ongoing promotion of client-centered approach to all treatment planning with staff. Encouraged staff involvement in development of the plan to promote ownership and understanding of rationale for such a plan. Standardizing the format for community service plans has resulted in improved quality of service delivery,

transparency, and development of healthy partnerships with clients. Evaluating community service plans q6 monthly or more often as necessary with clients. My focus over the past few years has been program development, teaching and mentoring new staff. 10. Reviewing your current Learning Plan, give at least one example of what you will focus on in the coming year.
