Purpose of the ePortfolio
The Professional Portfolio (ePortfolio) provides a formal process to show how you have met the outcomes and objectives of the nursing program and its courses. It also serves as a repository for documents that illustrate your abilities. Employers are interested in examples of work that showcase the skills and abilities of potential employees. Each course has designated artifacts (assignments) that are to be placed in the ePortfolio. You are always welcome to add any additional artifacts to the ePortfolio that you choose. You will establish the ePortfolio in AH111b: Healthcare Delivery Systems and continue to add to the ePortfolio as you progress through the program.
