Chapter 1 Introduction.

       A nursing portfolio is an essential part of a professional’s toolkit, which demonstrates their progress, embraces individual beliefs, and establishes a record of success. This compiled electronic portfolio shall act as a framework for lifelong learning with competence enhancement for the nursing profession. This involves using theory, clinical practice, seminars, and personal reflections to offer an overview of the development of the program. As such, this portfolio defines my position as a future nurse through communicating experience and relating it to a nurse’s competencies. It fosters self-assessment, analysis, and planning in relation to the fundamentals of professional practice as outlined in the scope of the nursing practice framework. Therefore, my main goal is to provide competent, caring, patient-centred practice and work toward personal and professional growth in this fulfilling profession.
