Reflection

In When We Fight, We Win by Greg Jobin-Leeds it says that “comparison can block compassion both for others and for ourselves.” I agree with such statement; I think that listening is a skill you learn throughout time. One can pretend to listen without really getting anything out of the conversation that one is having with that other person. In the Compassionate Listening workshop, I got to do it with Rachel Kurland and I sit and listened to her talking about the moment her friend treason her. I tried to understand her plight, why would she not cut that friendship off, I understood she loved her friend, however, I could not resist bringing my biases to our conversation. I asked myself, why is Rachel, such a good, loving, and smart person,

In summary, this course has really educated my view of being a teacher as well as being able to interact with today’s diverse and fluctuating educational setting. Therefore, the discussions were very good ways in understanding how

To me, the opening section is what stood out when first reading the syllabus. Before coming to college attending students usually, will tell you how difficult classes are and how professors don’t care about your problems or what you're dealing with personally. They’ll say something like the professor comes into the classroom takes homework, lectures, gives test and grades. However, after I read just the opening section of the syllabus I could tell that this course would be of a course I’ve never taken before.

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).

This reflective essay will be adopted from Rolfe, Freshwater and Jasper’s (2001) reflection model. This reflection is based on a case study that I have read and will be based on the intervention I have chosen to treat the patient. Mr. Castello was admitted to the ward for observation after a fight and sustaining a laceration to his right forehead from a beer bottle and extensive bruising and scratches to his left arm. Mr. Castello had a pre-existing chest infection, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and asthma. Assessing, cleaning and dressing his wounds is an integral part of his treatment, as his DM can lead to delayed wound healing and increased chance of infection (Salazar, Ennis, & Koh, 2016). This could be successfully achieved through

I do not recall learning about reflective practice in my undergraduate studies. Reflective practice according to Barbour (2013), “is the cyclic process of internally examining and exploring an issue of concern, triggered by an experience, which creates and clarifies meaning in terms of self, existing knowledge, and experience; resulting in a changed conceptual perceptive and practice” (p. 7). According to Barbour (2013), reflective process has many positive outcomes to help guide the nurse to become an expert nurse that can make on the spot decisions that do not interrupt patient care. I feel that reflective practice would have been beneficial to help guide me from a student nurse to a practicing nurse with critical thinking skills.

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)

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

A syllabus is something very important in every class. You must read over it, and keep it close to you when referring to all class assignments. I find myself looking over a syllabus quite frequently in the first few weeks of class and highlighting what I feel to be important. While reviewing the syllabus for our honors English course, I found a number of things I feel I should highlight and keep in my mind at all times. The first one being, no book.This a huge advantage as books can be quite costly. I find myself to be a very organized individual who at times can become quite anxious if things are not in order. Therefore, I find great appreciation in the fact that all modules as well as weekly assignments are broken down for you to see. Continuing

For the last six weeks in both mental and acute setting, I have reflected on events that I had met in each week. Now, I am going to identify essential personal learning outcomes from those events and will include personal awareness of strengths and weaknesses. Among the different models of reflection, I will use the Gibbs model of reflection which entails six stages such as description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, action plan.

One of the components that stuck with me was the impact positive and specific feedback, both verbal and written, can have on a student’s view of school. It is essential to use explicit praise that is genuine. For some students, explicit praise can be a motivator. If the feedback is negative or lacks specification, it can dissuade a student’s effort and achievement. It is also important for feedback to be delivered in a timely manner. A goal I have for next year is to teach my students how to correctly share feedback with one another.

As we begin to wrap up this semester, I reflect on all the learning and achievements I have obtained thus far in the program. Throughout this semester, my communication and relational capacity has grown, driving me to break out of my comfort shell. At the beginning of this year I had wrote a letter to myself, outlining three goals that I wanted to achieve. The three goals were: work with a palliative client, become more assertive, and to integrate family care into my practice. I began the semester off in acute care, on the medical floor. During the second part of the semester, I was assigned to be in the first group of students to start the Trail Outreach Nursing. My new placement has created a new goal of increasing my communication

Colleen, Thank you for being open, reading and listening to our suggestions. You Rock!! As students we get the chance to express our view points and share our comments about the course after the semester is over, which does not benefit us during the semester. I appreciate the opportunity for the class to share with you our ideas and comments during the class.

It is imperative that a student understand what a syllabus is. Stanford University explains that a syllabus is “a guide to your course and what will be expected of you. It includes course policies, rules, regulations, required texts and a schedule of your assignments.” On why instructors give syllabi out, an education website says, “by making sure expectations are clearly communicated, instructors circumvent a host of student grievances and misunderstandings during the semester.”

The class started off at a fast pace right away. I remember the first day we reviewed the syllabus and discussed the goals we were going to achieve within this course. We had four main goals to cover. The first goal was competency in research and information literacy skills,
