Reflection Analysis

Coming into college, I never thought I would be an art major. I came to the University of Evansville with high hopes of being a nurse. I began the nursing program, but only lasted for a semester, due to anatomy and physiology being awful. I took up computer science, but quickly dropped that after about two weeks due to my grandfather passing away during the first week of the semester, and me having to leave for a week for his funeral. I was ready to drop out of school – I had no friends, stayed in my room all day except for class, and had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. About halfway through my second semester of college, I joined Phi Mu, which gave me hope and friends, and made me want to stay

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).

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)

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,

I printed out this email and I highlighted the answers we were to bubble in. However, once we began to bubble in the answers there was a problem. The overwhelming majority of the students did not know their address. This created a major problem because I was given only one paper with the students’ address. Thus, I had to spend the majority of the time helping students with their addresses. Around 10:50 Tammy Becker walked in and told my class that we were being too loud (I was doing my best helping students fill out their address). She said we were to start the test at 11:05 am. As a result, I made sure we did start the test at 11:05 am. At 11:05 am the students began testing. I followed everything we were instructed to do during the PSAT.

This week's reflection assignment consisted on us watching a video. The video is titled "SKS trigger job", and is narrated by Iraqveteran8888. The website hosting this video is youtube.com.

For my critical reflection I attended the suicide prevention presentation with keynote speaker Jamie Tworkowski. Prior to attending this event, I wasn’t very excited. I thought that it would be a boring lecture where someone stood up and talked about suicide. I didn’t think it would tell me something I didn’t already know. It began with the discussion of Jamie’s organization called To Write Love on Her Arms and how it started with his desire to help a friend who was struggling with addiction and self harm and share her story. Her story first appeared on myspace and quickly after the page received thousands of comments and responses, Jamie realized that this is an issue that reaches everybody. Today, the organization has flourished into a

In order to prepare for this torero trek, I would attend more resume and elevator pitch workshops, and schedule more appointments at the career development center. I attended the Engineering Career fair that was on the 4th of October. In which, I got my first exposure to employers and I was able to practice my elevator pitch and my networking skills. I later scheduled an appointment with Rhonda Harley at the career development center to get some feedback on my resume.

I would like write the incident according to John’s (2006) model of structured reflection. When I was working in aged care as a medication technician, one incident reported about medication error. It happened in an afternoon. One of our morning nurse staff given a medication to the resident and forgot to record it. She finished her duty and left at 1 pm.Another staff came for afternoon duty gave the medication to the resident again. At around 2 pm we got a call from morning staff and said she forgot to record the medication. Then only we came to know that, the resident got double dose of medicine. Duty nurse reported this incident to the management and drug error record faxed to the head office. Management called all the staffs

The story I would like to tell involves how I dealt with a difficult situation which continues to shape how I approach problems in my life. The story starts when I was in grade school and involves problems with reading and comprehension. Although I excelled at math and other subjects I really had problems with my reading and writing skills. During this time I felt I lacked the ability to excel in this subject. Throughout elementary school I was assigned to an adult tutor who spent time with me every day during school to help me with this challenge. I wasn't the only student in my class with this hurdle to overcome but I felt like I was alone. To help me improve I was given homework assignments that I was to complete with my parents. Through a lot of hard work, trial and error, and patience, my reading began to improve. By the time I reached fifth grade I was reading at the targeted grade level. However, I wanted to exceed even more and by the time I entered middle school I was one of the top readers in my class.

At the beginning of this semester, I was very uneducated when it came to writing. I was unsure of how to write essays, summaries, or reading responses because of the lack of writing I have had in high school. Since it was this way, I was very nervous when I started this class and was not sure how well I would do. Now it is the end of the year and I feel that I have improved my writing skills in a tremendous way.

Understanding your emotions, keeping them in check, knowing your weakness and strengths are all important to be emotionally healthy. During this week, I have learned many new and interesting ideas like how to be in check, how to recognize feelings in a social situation and how I compare with my family and friends when it comes to my EQ.
