Introduction
A portfolio is an umbrella of different artefacts that describe the professional background,
their work experience and finally their competencies. It assembles knowledge and evidence in an
orderly manner which justifies a different level of competency and then reflects back the
expectations, set standards and objectives that are needed in the course of career development
(Bennett, 2008). This the primary objective of developing an e-portfolio and it will act as a
guideline or model in describing the competencies that I have attained and the objectives that am
planning to achieve so as I attain my primary goal of an advanced clinical nurse educator.
Description
There are different standards or rather qualifications set by the Australian Nursing and
Midwifery Federation that a clinical nurse educator should attain. One is supposed to possess a
Bachelor of Nursing and a postgraduate study with 5-10 years of continuous clinical experience
after registration. So far, I have already attained the degree in nursing and pursuing the
postgraduate diploma.
Feelings and analysis
The primary objective of a nurse educator is to coordinate deliver and evaluate clinical
nurse education at the ward or the unit level. This is what am struggling to achieve. There are
key accountabilities that am also supposed to attain and they have been divided into four
domains that include professional development and education, professional practice, Quality
improvement and management and finally enabling others (Choi & Kim, 2016). Under the first
domain, I have been able to assist other nurses with orientation at the clinical area.
