Supervised Practice Plan: Requirements for Registered Nurses

This document outlines the Supervised Practice Plan (SPP) for Registered Nurses, as per the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA). The SPP establishes an agreement between the NMBA, supervisor, and supervisee, detailing objectives, supervision levels, types, and requirements. It emphasizes the balance between supervision needs, the nurse's competence, and practice scope. The plan includes sections on supervision arrangements, goals aligned with Registered Nurse standards, and areas for development. It also covers reporting requirements, responsibilities of both the supervisee and supervisor, and the process for submitting the plan to the relevant state or territory board. The document provides a template and guidance for completing the SPP, ensuring alignment with the NMBA's Supervision guidelines and the Registered nurse standards for practice, including a reference to the relevant AHPRA contact details. The document also provides a framework for developing a supervision plan, including goals, activities, and methods to ensure the quality of patient care and adherence to nursing standards. The supervision plan addresses critical thinking, therapeutic relationships, maintenance of practice capability, comprehensive assessments, development of nursing plans, and evaluation of outcomes.
