I will deepen my understanding of the differences in scope of practice between a Registered Practical Nurse and a Registered Nurse by reviewing and analyzing relevant course content, the College of Nurses of Ontario (2023) practice standards, and real-world case examples. By April 3, 2025, I will be able to effectively explain the key differences in scope of practice through written reflections, group discussions, or presentations in class. I will document at least three key distinctions and support each with evidence from CNO guidelines and course materials.

I will enhance my pharmacology knowledge by reviewing and studying in-depth the medications discussed in my coursework and encountered during clinical settings. Each week, I will complete a medication review for at least three drugs that I am unfamiliar with, documenting the key details such as drug classifications, potential interactions, dosages, and side effects in a personal study log. I will achieve this goal by February 20, 2025, after completing my pharmacology course.
