Mock Reflection

This simulation experience allowed me to practice my focused assessment skills, delegation of tasks, prioritization on of tasks, interdisciplinary communication skills, and skills that I have not been able to participate in such as blood administration. I learned that my strengths are patient education, delegation, noticing changes in patient condition, and working as a member of a team. I need to improve my speed of completing tasks, my confidence, and my process of working through new skills.

Reflection is a major factor in "developing self-awareness" to improve services provided to everyone around me, this is to develop my own understanding in realising the good and bad made previously. Moving forward with a better understanding, as well as rectifying the mistake whilst recognizing the good points, (Horton-Deutsch and Sherwood, 2008).

Looking back at project 3, I felt very happy with the essay I produced. I am not one to enjoy writing since I usually do not feel very confident in my writing. I felt the work I produced through project 3 was one of my best. I put a lot of effort into this essay and it showed in my final draft. With this being said, after comparing my essay to the rubric I gave myself a 3.64 overall on this project for many reasons. This essay in no means was perfect, but I learned from my strengths and weaknesses.

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)

I am committed to assisting patients and families in achieving the optimal level of function.  My actions are directed toward preventing disease, arresting disease and dysfunction, assisting with rehabilitation, and assisting patients with a comfortable and positive experience.  All care that I provide is provided in a nonjudgmental, nondiscriminatory, sensitive, and culturally manner.  I create a partnership based on mutual respect and that is my foundation of

Intern met with resident K. Brown for the purpose of addressing her personal concerns and speaking with her about her community service hours. Kiara informed me that she completed her community service hours for the previous week. Intern asked her to verify the days she completes CS hours, and she stated Sundays and Wednesdays. Resident did express her frustrations by saying that she used to mess up with her CS hours, but she is really trying to do better. Intern advised her that another resident completes hers during that time, so she will have to do CS hours on Mondays and Thursdays or Mondays and Fridays. Intern also explained to her the importance of doing CS hours. It was explained that not only is this a requirement of the program,

At the beginning of the baseball season I was told about an elite baseball team for age thirteen. I couldn’t try out for this team yet because I was only twelve years old so I still had a year to go until I could try out. My dad told me that year I had to focus on doing really well because the coaches were going to come to watch a lot of the tournaments to see who they want to invite to the tryouts. The coaches said this team will compete with the best teams in the state. Throughout the season I was really excited about the team and the tryout but I was also a little nervous about the tryout.

Hey you! I took part in D.A.R.E at Clear Creek Elementary School with Officer Brandon Trapp! I thought this class was very interesting. I am going to tell you tips and tricks I learned in D.A.R.E.

I have always tried my hardest in school, trying my best to make my parents proud of me. Have there been time when I could have tried harder? Absolutely. There have been many times where I have found myself slipping in my schoolwork, and I have always caught myself. There is one time in particular of my junior year that I won't soon forget.

I have done mock trials and mock hearings in my other courses, but the mock trial in advocacy was more extensive. In my previous courses, I had learned how to fill out forms and the basic steps in a trial but did not have the chance to be involved in the entire process from beginning to end. In my self-reflection, I will discuss what I think my group did correct, and what I think needs to be improved on for when I go out into the working field.

Our team has taken a decision to use different change levers to persuade each other and take votes for a democratic choice selection in case of any disagreement. What was seemed a disadvantage in the beginning of the simulation, later turned out to be a good learning experience for me at a personal level. After almost eleven months into the MBA program and different group assignments throughout the year, none of my team members had experience of working with one another. This factor has played a role for my fear of having a disadvantage for the simulation and in the end, I was proved wrong and learned the lesson. We had a very diversified group of people from different parts of the World and not with zero experience of working with each other had set a perfect stage for the simulation which was all about managing complexity in a team of highly diversified people with two Indian men, two Chinese women, and a Brazilian man. A quick introduction in combination with pressure to perform under a stiff time frame has settled the initial difficulty to get things going. With the approach of learning from doing and an open mindedness, we started pretty early with the simulation without spending much of time. Although

By doing the disability simulations, I didn’t experience what it feels like to live with a disability; however, I did encounter new challenges and learned about my feelings. At times, I was frustrated, scared, and concern for my safety. While, simulating autism and schizophrenia disorders, I felt alone, uncomfortable and frightened. I found it easier simulating a physical disability than a mental health disability. Yet, during the physical simulations, I was frustrated. I could not complete tasks and I was worried about getting hurt. When simulating a stroke and VIB, I wished I had help. In contrast, simulating autism and schizophrenia disorder, I was so focused on the simulation, I didn’t think about getting help.

For the 123 Test, my results showed that my openness to experience is low, my conscientiousness is very low, my extraversion is very low, my agreeableness is high, and my natural reactions are very high. The descriptions given to me included down-to-earth, spontaneous, reserved, compassionate, and prone to worry. I think that the test describes me pretty well, however I feel that my score on conscientiousness should have at least been in the mid range. I also think that the test is valid and tests what it is supposed to. I don’t think the test is reliable in the sense that a person can choose whatever choice they want. I also think that sometimes a person may make different choices, especially on questions that were harder for the test taker to answer.

What would I have done if I knew then what I know now? This is a common question that most may ask themselves throughout the course of life. So much can happen or take place in such a short amount of time. For me I use time as a tool allowing me to keep an open mind and learn through experience. I have learned that there are many valuable lessons to be learned over time. This has struck my curiosity. At times I can’t wait to learn something new and it makes me extremely anxious to acquire wisdom in the future. Although I feel like I can’t wait to learn new things, I think I’ve lost sight of what is truly important. I think the most valuable lesson is learned through the course of this semester is to cherish the time you have and live in the moment. This class has opened my views, taught me how to express my feelings through writing, but most important of all to not judge off opinions of others.

Wow, it has to be said that it is unbelievable that this is already the fourth week in this course. Time has gone by so quick, but so much has also been learned in this short time. Although I will sound like a broken record, I try to pride myself on not only taking a challenge and preserving through it, but also incorporating new things learned. At the time, things might seem difficult and habits hard to replace, but I have truly grown to have a new found appreciation to what this course has taught me. I might not utilize every concept in each thing that I do, but I will definitely have a different perspective on how something can be done. Week four really tied the previous weeks together and it became clearer the purpose for going through this process, I can also have a new appreciation of how this process would be beneficial in a project that is much larger and detailed. With that being said, although this project is not as in depth as I am sure something such as, a “dissertation” might be I can see the benefit of even just the simple things such as making something too wordy and also still some challenges that seem to haunt me like just the right thesis statement.
