Clinical Reflective Analysis

During clinicals there was a lot going on: new employees, new residents and residents leaving. I found clinicals completely different than being in the classroom and learning from mannequins. However, I did find it eye opening of what a rehabilitation center is like. Personally, what I thought was a good clinical experience was being able to spend time with the residents. I know we were there to practice our skills and learn from experienced NAC’s. But it had felt amazing knowing we were able

profound difference on the lives of people who truly and appreciate it. Good nurses contribute greatly to the success of healthcare institution and to the mental and physical well-being of their patients. In this journal, I will be using the Gibbs Reflective Cycle to express my feelings on my experiences in which I interacted with a nurse. At approximately 9:15 pm on a Saturday night, my sister was rushed to the hospital because of an asthma attack. After spending twenty minutes on the respirator

Description: When I first drove onto Folkways I was amazed by the amount of land the property laid on. There were trails intertwined between individual houses, apartment buildings, and three story buildings that had common areas. The landscape was gorgeous; with beautiful flowers that were well maintained. When I met bob, the man who gave us a tour, he was very welcoming. He said “you are not a student when you come to folkways; you are apart of our family.” In our tour around the property Bob showed

Introduction: In this essay, I will discuss several issues that seem to bind nursing practice with questions of ethics, sociology and management. Reflective practice is an important aspect of nursing management and in this essay we discuss implications of discrimination in nursing care and examine the importance of anti-discriminatory perspectives in nursing. In this paper, the case study I will elaborate is of an elderly woman who was of a non-British ethnic origin and spoke little English. A junior

Among the various reflective models, there are both pros and cons to each concerning the depth in which a clinician reflects from an experience. It is critical to note that in my opinion these reflective models would not fit every situation in life or within a clinical setting. Therefore, every situation should be analyzed to see which model will produce the best reflective approach. Obviously for more in depth situations, those models that superficially reflect would not be an optimal choice. After

The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the contribution of reflective practice for clinical nursing. Reflection has been defined as a way for individuals to “capture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate” (Boud et al 1985: 19) Argyris and Schon (1974) suggest that practitioners often practice at less than effective levels because they follow routine. Johns (1995) implies that action can be taken through reflection to increase effectiveness in practice as reflection provides

the development of clinical knowledge and ability which allows the learner to consider personal and professional skills and identify needs for ongoing development (Levett-Jones et al, 2011). This reflection will allow me to analyse the goal of nursing patients with Multi-Resistant Organisms (MROs), I planned to learn and understand at the beginning of the course, evaluate my professional growth and obtain conclusions in relation to my personal learning outcome. The Gibbs Reflective Cycle (1988) will

For students to graduate from a physiotherapy course, upto 1000 clinical hours needs to be completed (Dawson, Morris & Wilson, 2014). In terms of clinical experience, as a graduate, 1000 hours are minimal in relation to the greater paradigms of development and clinical knowledge. The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy [CSP] (2013) clinical supervision guidelines promote the benefit of clinical supervision for new graduates in adhering to Health and Care Professionals Council [HCPC] (2012) expectations

Reflective practice is used in nursing to improve practice. This is done through a self-examination of work done in the past .consciously analysing the decisions taken in the course of one’s practice. It also involves an analysis of the individuals thought processes during and after the clinical event. Relating them to theories and concepts with a view to modifying decisions, behaviour, learning needs, treatments and actions in the future. Reflective practice can be done individually or as a group
