Capella Capstone Project Professional E-Portfolio
Professional Context:
A portfolio serves as a valuable tool for nurses to document and provide evidence of their skills, achievements, experiences, development, and ongoing learning. It not only benefits nurses themselves but also serves as a valuable resource for registration boards, employers, managers, and peers (Green, Wyllie, & Jackson, 2014, p. 8). As you curate the artifacts that best highlight your strengths, you embark on a journey of tracking, reflecting upon, and evaluating your own learning and growth over time.
Preparation:
For this assessment, you will create a professional e-portfolio and a resume to carry with you upon completing your program. To Help you in completing this assessment, please review the following resources as needed:
