1. By the end of the semester, I would like to be able to complete at least 3 Canadian Neurological
Scale (CNS) on my patients with full confidence. I can measure by using a tally for every time I
felt fully confident and did not ask for assistance.
2. By the end of the semester, I would like to assist the other nurses and my peers more often and
keep my shift more productive. I can measure this by keeping track of the number of minutes in
which I find myself with nothing to do. At the end of the semester I would like less than 10
minutes for the whole shift of downtime (not including break or post-conference).
3. By the end of the semester, I would like to insert at least 1 catheter (in and out or indwelling) and
perform at least 1 more dressing change on a patient.
How will I achieve my goals? (activities, open-lab, text-based readings, journal articles, approved videos
etc.)
1. I can achieve this goal by reading more about the CNS, why it’s used and how to successfully
perform the assessment. I can do this by watching my peers as well as the other nurses perform the
assessment as well as watching videos. I can also ask the other nurses if I could perform a CNS on
their patient’s for extra practice.
2. I can achieve this goal by making an effort to ask the nurses if they need assistance. I can also ask
my peers or answer the call bells. Another way I can keep productive is to walk around to all the
client’s and ask them if there is anything, I can get for them or if they need assistance toileting.
3. I can complete this goal by first being prepared before the opportunities arise. I can do this by
reading the literature and watching videos on the process and making a list of the supplies I may
need. Then, I would let my instructor know that I am interested in practicing these skills and then
wait for the opportunity to arise. I can also let the nurses know that if they need a dressing change
or a catherization performed, to let me know.
