PLAR Credit Request: 9 Lower-Level and 24 Upper-Level credits toward my Bachelor of Health Science Program

Student Number: T00749077

I am excited to present my portfolio and share the extensive learning I have acquired through my adult experiences. My decision to pursue the Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) process stems from the substantial knowledge I’ve gained in various domains within my work as a healthcare professional, and I believe this process will help me achieve my goals more efficiently and flexibly.

In my portfolio, the primary areas of focus, which I have identified as my core learning, include Medical, Management, Advocacy, Supervision, Emergency Management, Conflict Resolution, and Indigenous Knowledge. These areas, along with others, have significantly strengthened my competencies as discussed in my Demonstration of Learning.

For the past four years, I have been passionately working as a nurse, dedicating myself to providing exceptional patient care and supporting healthcare initiatives. During this time, I have taken on various roles including leadership positions within the healthcare field. These experiences have allowed me to complete numerous training courses, apply my learning in real-world scenarios, and develop into a stronger leader with increased responsibilities. Additionally, I have actively participated in supporting student nurses in their training which further enriched my understanding and commitment to healthcare. Creating this portfolio has been a rewarding journey, offering valuable insights, challenges, and growth opportunities. I look forward to the interview where I can elaborate on my learning and experiences in greater depth.

I am seeking the maximum amount of PLAR credits allowable for my program. Recognizing my prior learning will significantly enhance my academic journey and allow me to progress more efficiently toward my educational and professional goals. If you require any additional information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me. I appreciate your time and consideration of my application.

 

Kind Regards,
