STUDENT SKILLS INVENTORY
CHECKLIST
NAME:
Joseph A. Sferrazza
DATE:
Directions to Students:
This
checklist is utilized as a resource to track my clinical skills
while I'm enrolled as a student in the School of Nursing at
Adelphi University. I am responsible for checking off each skill
that I have observed or
performed in lab or clinical.
The
checklist must be updated each semester and brought by me to
each lab/
clinical site to be reviewed with the clinical instructor. The
instructor and I would identify any skills needed and, if
appropriate and available in
that setting, provide opportunities to practice.
