Peer 1
An academic portfolio is a snapshot of one’s research, accomplishments, licensures, and professional work. The portfolio is a way to house many important aspects of our career in one central place. This is important while seeking initial employment or when you are looking for advancement (Phillips, 2022). A resume is only a quick summary of your history and accomplishments while a portfolio can give potential employers a more intimate look at your success. Portfolios can include things like actual competencies and certificates as well as letters of recommendation. This gives you a much larger platform to introduce yourself and set the stage for how you would really fit the position that is open. In a world where competition is fierce, anything that gives you a leg up is certainly worth pursuing.
Things to include in my own academic portfolio would be my academic progression. I have advanced from LPN to Associate of Art’s degree to Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness to Registered Nurse to BSN and now onto MSN. I have created a focus on health maintenance and disease prevention within the community by doing several things: First, I have established a working relationship between our clinic and the schools by creating health-based classes that I teach during after school programs. Second, I have advertised health promoting behaviors such as skin checks, sunscreen use, and tick identification at local health fairs.
I believe that all of my own accomplishments align with Walden’s view on social change. The basis of social change is creating change within your community through education (Walden University, n.d.). My pursuit of further education has given me the opportunity to network with people and create these educational events within my own community.

Having a professional portfolio is essential. The professional portfolio showcases the nurse’s skills, achievements, and professional experience (Burns, 2018). Having a solid academic foundation is critical and helps determine placement for competitive jobs. Having a well-rounded portfolio shows academic achievements and accomplishments in professional development.
Academic Strategies
A strategy to build a strong portfolio is to start with academic accomplishments. Academic achievements are a reflection of the skill transferred from the classroom to clinical practice (McMillan et al., 2014). As nurses, we dedicate a great deal of time to our education, so showcasing our educational accomplishments in our portfolio is critical. Adding educational achievements such as academic awards, diplomas, and degrees gives us an advantage and proves that learning has occurred and educational requirements have been met (Casey & Egan, 2013).
Professional Goals
When your dream job is on the line and your application is within several other candidates, it is vital to stand out. Showing evidence of past professional experiences is critical in achieving professional developmental goals. Your professional portfolio represents you as a practitioner and exhibits your skills and past experiences during your nursing career. This information can land you the job or make you stand out from other applicants. Providing evidence of skills, knowledge, and experience is a strategy that can support career changes and meet professional requirements (Casey & Egan, 2013).
Social Change. Walden University caught my attention because of its strong focus on social change. Walden’s goal is to empower students to make a difference by providing several opportunities for professionals to transform themselves into scholar-practitioners to contribute to positive social changes (Walden University, 2022). Walden’s emphasis on social change aligns with my goals because it gives us the platform, education, and experience to prepare ourselves to be strong and successful professionals. Walden university’s (2022) mission is to transform professionals into scholar-practitioner with the ultimate goal of affecting positive social change. Positive social change has always been a goal of mine. I genuinely enjoy helping others and making the world a better place.
