1. Tell us about your experience putting together your portfolio for the AL-CIP?
In preparation for submission, I pulled together what I felt would be applicable experiences and outcomes for the portfolio. Reviewing each domain, I weighed the critiera and my rationales for submission and drafted highlights to include.
2. Can you provide tips for writing a successful rationale?
Drafting some of the rationales was easier than others. If I felt as though I was too wordy to accomplish what Iwas trying to say or that it needed additional information , I put the draft aside overnight and revisted it the next day with fresh eyes to see if it met what I was trying to convey. For two of the domains, I rewrote the entire rationale for submission.
3. What advice would you give to someone considering the AL-CIP?
GO for it. It is a wonderful opportunity to look back at your accomplishments and reflect on your actions and outcomes, helping to build on a future of additonal impact. No one knows you like you do.
4. What does earning your AL-CIP mean to you?
Personal pride and acknowledgement of achievement and impact; for patient and employee safety.
