Nursing Portfolio

Why have a portfolio?

The NCNZ requires all nurses under the HPCA legislation to keep evidence of their continuing competence.
A portfolio identifies achievements and learning needs and provides a process for acknowledging your knowledge, skills and expertise developed through experience.
It provides an opportunity to reflect on your nursing practice.

Portfolios should include:

Curriculum Vitae (qualifications, employment record)
Position description
Self assessment against the Nursing Council competencies
Peer review / assessment OR performance review
Copy of practising certificate
Record of clinical hours � minimum requirement is 450 hours of nursing practice in the past 3 years
Record of professional development �minimum requirement is 60 hours over the past 3 years
Current other certification appropriate to your area of practice
