This assignment is the Signature Assignment and is due when the student has completed 250
clinical hours for the course. The Evaluation Summary of Clinical Experiences paper
provides a student with an opportunity to summarize and synthesize a blending of various
therapeutic approaches that they were able to experience over the last 510 hours of psychiatric
experiences with various patients and preceptors.
Which preceptors did you learn the most from, what do you wish you had done
differently or are you completely satisfied with the experiences you had?
Do you feel you have developed symbiotic ways to help patients develop insight and solutions to their problems in the context of individual psychotherapy and medication management? Provide objective comments about your facilities and your preceptors would you recommend them to future students?
Describe the facility, the type of work they do, the type of
clientele they service, and describe the preceptor. What was the preceptor’s style? Provide a
discussion of the overall experience with the patients. Was this experience what you expected,
was it less, or was it more? Do you still want to be a psychiatric nurse practitioner? Were you
able to see patients alone, did your preceptors allow you to “run the sessions”?
