RT Book, Section A1 Dillon, Deborah L. SR Print(0) ID 1189767918 T1 The Portfolio T2 Successful Transition to Practice: A Guide for the New Nurse Practitioner, 1e YR 2021 FD 2021 PB McGraw Hill PP New York, NY SN 9781260452372 LK apn.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1189767918 RD 2024/03/29 AB A portfolio provides more detail and supplements—not replaces—your resume. Portfolios vary widely, but a key feature is the inclusion of artifacts. Artifacts are tangible objects that demonstrate your work. Examples of artifacts include samples of your work such as history and physicals and progress notes. Faculty often critiques such documents and you should use these examples after you have made the necessary revisions. You will want to be sure that all of this documentation has had patient identifiers removed. Course outlines and syllabi, procedure checklists, etc., that you created by yourself or as part of a team effort, are also important to include. You may also wish to include statements from patients or providers expressing their satisfaction with care you have provided. You may also want to include your diplomas, proof of certifications (i.e., CPR, ACLS, etc.), and licensure in your portfolio. These items should never be the originals but copies only. Portfolios can be paper or electronic; electronic formats include web pages, PDF documents, and even PowerPoint presentations.1 You may provide a web link to your documents if you have utilized a program such as Typhon2 to collect your data.
