Debriefing in the simulation as a reflective tool Simulation is one kind of reflective tool that widely use in nursing education. National League for Nursing (NLN) described that simulation was a teaching technique that encouraged students to use and apply their theoretical knowledge in clinical scenarios (2015). NLN (2015) also mentioned that “simulation engages learners with diverse perspectives to reflect and reframe the understanding of practice, bringing thinking and doing together” (p. 4)
Cultural safety is a concept that is integral to providing best care to patients in nursing practice. The CRNBC defines cultural safety as a process requiring RNs to reflect on their cultural identity, and develop their practice in a way that allows them to affirm the culture of their patients; cultural unsafety can be defined as any actions which demean, diminish, or disempower the cultural identity and well-being of people; this also addresses the dynamics of the power relationship between the
1. Discuss how you might assess or evaluate problem-solving skills and critical thinking skills for nursing students. Provide specific examples to support your position This is actually a very good question since a cursory literature research on the topic shows that there are various ways of defining critical thinking skills in general and in particular as regards nursing students. Watson and Glazer (1980), for instance, define critical thinking as being a composite of attitudes, knowledge, and
Nurses use critical reflection as an important element of patient quality care. Critical reflection is a vital factor that enables nurses to ensure safety of patients. In the essay, a discussion of elderly abuse will be explained, based on how the incident made me feel and why, an evaluation of positive and negative impacts, analysing my perception, how I will improve my learning skills and action plans to avoid abuse.

Commonly associated with devoted and often crazed idolization of celebrities and public figures. We are all guilty, in one way or the other, of admiring someone of certain talents and/or skill set. There is nothing wrong with that. With today’s technological advances in cellular devices, a forever memory is only one click away. The question at hand is whether acts of excitement
CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction “Knowledge results from the combination of grasping (observation) and transforming reflections into action (concrete experience)” (Kolb, 1894). Nursing is a practice profession. Clinical experience in the clinical setting is the integral part of the total education process for nursing students. (Estrella Cuarezma Sanchez, 1998) The clinical exposure of a student nurse is an experience that is not to be taken for granted. It is as important
teaching and learning strategy that combines community service with reflection and instruction to help enhance the learning experience and as well as strengthen communities. Some examples of service learning are; working with political organizations, neighborhood associations and a tutor elementary or secondary students are a variety of subjects. Service Learning can be implemented into many majors, such as psychology majors, nursing majors, and health and food science majors -- just to name a few.
A patient has a sacral wound and a wound vac. They are being sent home to continue the care in their home. Interventions are being implemented to help them cope and heal with their new lifestyle. Also, with the interventions, elevation methods are included to reinforce how well the interventions are working and how well they were learned. Additionally incorporated are the benefits and barriers from a community resource. Likewise, with any patient there are always legal and ethical considerations
honest, I always thought of service learning as forced volunteerism, but only because no one ever really told us why we had to do it. With that being said, I decided this paper was going to be a search for the answers to these questions as well as a reflection of the experience. While researching for this paper I established a new-found appreciation for service learning. Service learning projects are assigned with the intention of benefitting both the provider and the recipient. More than just busy work
