Action plans may be used, for example, with preregistration or post-registration nursing students during a placement or with registered nurses for whom there are concerns regarding their professional practice. In that context, an action plan is essentially a set of objectives that the nurse or student is asked to work towards. • The objectives set in an action plan should be SMART – specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. • An action plan should feature resources and activities that will support the person to achieve the objectives, as well as the evidence needed to demonstrate successful completion and a time frame. • An action plan is one strategy that can be used to support nurses or nursing students to progress in their practice or learning.
