STUDY PLAN 2
Study Plan
To succeed in school and on the National Certification Exam, I need a study schedule. To
complete my work and improve my abilities promptly, I need to develop a study schedule that
will keep me focused, disciplined, and on track. In addition, a study plan is essential to my
mental health since it enables me to become aware of my shortcomings and possibilities for
improvement promptly, which in turn reduces the amount of stress I experience because I can
address these issues promptly. This paper will outline my future goals with a timeline that will
aid me in achieving my qualifying exam.

STUDY PLAN 3
Summary of Strengths and Opportunity for Improvement:
After completing the practice exam for the National Certification Exam, I am more aware of my
strengths, my limitations, and how I can continue to grow. Throughout my life, and particularly
as an adult, I've come to appreciate the fact that my competencies lie in the areas of
pharmacological foundations and physical examination. It is possible to make advancements in
areas such as neuroanatomy, genomics, neurophysiology, and epigenetics. These areas pertain
specifically to the capabilities of children and adolescents, areas in which I do not have a lot of
experience. Throughout the past few years, I've gained a significant amount of knowledge and
understanding in the areas of evaluation, conducting interviews, acquiring a history, medical
tests, changes, possible treatments, and mental condition. As a result, this is also one of my
strong areas of expertise. For me to make progress or improve, I will have to educate myself on
the application of psychometric characteristics to current instruments, particularly those designed
for use with children and adolescents, and conduct a study on the dependability of the data.
These instruments did not receive nearly enough attention from me throughout my therapeutic
efforts. As a consequence of this, it would present me with a diverse array of learning and growth
opportunities. Before I began the test, I was under the impression that one of my primary
weaknesses would be psychotherapy methods; nonetheless, my performance was satisfactory in
this area, and I do not require any further training in this sector. I must continue to focus on
developing my talents by addressing the areas in which I am deficient and becoming excellent in
my strengths.
Goals and Tasks
Goal: To meet and complete the weekly tasks and studies, I aim to read the guideline titled
“American Psychiatric Association, Updates to DSM–5 Criteria, Text and ICD-10 Codes.”

My progression may be tracked in several ways, one of which is by monitoring how well
I do in meeting the goals I've established for myself. In addition to grades, remarks from the
instructor and preceptorship evaluations can be used as another method to evaluate my progress.
The third strategy for surveying estimates is to make a list of the errands and tasks that I will
need to perform to be ready for the event by looking forward to the upcoming term that is the
closest.

STUDY PLAN 8
Resources to Accomplish Goals
I planned to consult “The Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Review Manual”
as a source of information for my educational endeavors through my professional education.
Using this resource to help me fulfill my weekly exams and assignments would be very
beneficial to me. If there was something that I started but was unable to complete, I will come
back to it after I have all of the programs finished with an A grade. In addition, the “Certification
Guide” is an outstanding resource that has been of great use to me in acquiring the skills and
information I needed to complete the certification exam.
