What Is A Reflective Account

What do you think went not so well The policy is not always a deterrent for some children. |

For this assignment I will be writing a reflective account which will identify a significant episode of care in which I had been involved with, by identifying the pathophysiology and the disease process for the chosen patient; this will be presented by giving a brief outline of the psychosocial influences of the illness for the patient and others who may have been involved with the care. I will also reflect upon this episode by using a reflective model and examining the nursing process, using a holistic perspective throughout the reflective framework. Maintaining confidentiality is a key element, outlined in the Nursing Midwifery Council the Code (2008).

Descriptively adapt from Framework for Accountability into your own practice; how will this model improve your professional practice.

I am working with the ITS Finance team at RMIT three days per week. My manager wants me to learn about all the things they do in the department and the systems they use so I can make the most of my placement and experience.

It did not take a trip to the soup kitchen to teach me that people are not defined by their circumstances. What I did learn during my time volunteering is the extent to which people are ignored and their identities and accomplishment erased. One day after everyone finished eating I would help sweep and wipe the tables and I say a man who seemed to be writing program on his computer. I was very impressed by this and I have always wanted to learn to do web coding but it has always seemed like a foreign language to me. I asked him what he was designing and how he got in to coding and he started telling me all about how he taught himself to code and that he is in the middle of trying to design a new program that could make his laptop move faster without damaging the hardware. I was impressed that he was doing a project that could probably make any computer company lots of money if he successfully designed it. I asked him if he ever worked with computers and he began telling me about how he has been homeless since he was a teen and he was never even able to get an interview because he was

In healthcare, apprenticeship and mentoring are long regarded as models used to bring individuals into these professions. An issue raised in nursing is the need for personal integrity to be incorporated into this

To conclude our learning, from the reflections we have made individually, we should keep these in mind within future forms of professional practice, for example, when we attend an interview in later life. Finally, using active experimentation in order to plan for the future and, in effect, practice our reflections and what we have learnt from them to successfully better ourselves professionally (Davies, C, unknown)

I became part of another team of individuals who cared about helping people at their worst and most vulnerable times with respect and dignity. I learned to listen to their stories and experienced their appreciation. Some guests that came to the soup kitchen were reluctant for assistance at first. We had to serve carefully those guests with disabilities, food allergies or certain medical conditions, like diabetes. My time at the soup kitchen made me realize that integrity was by far the only way to create a friendlier environment and an empathic relationship.

“Professional conduct, or behaviors that are desirable and necessary for practice, are a major concern for educators and practitioners. The ability to excel in

To start with, my learning experience and the knowledge environment working with people with disabilities stared with Lupita and Santiago. One day Lupita and Santiago went to our class to make a presentation of their testimony. I love their story, how I loved every testimony that I have heard in my classes. However, the next Saturday from the presentation that they did will be an event with them. I decided to call Lupita to go to make some hours as a volunteer. She said quickly that I can go to help them that Saturday at the event. The event was a wheelchair car wash. This event started at 8:00 am. at the church. I have the opportunity to meet different people with different disabilities. Everyone was so nice and respectful. At this event, the volunteers would help to clean the wheelchair of the ones who use wheelchairs. We were about ten volunteers at the event. We learned how to disarm a wheelchair and to assemble a wheelchair. Lupita was the first person who we started this adventure. I said this was an adventure because everyone was having a good time learning, washing and enjoying this activity. Honestly,

Stephen Covey talks about seven habits that one can practice in order to achieve both personal and professional success in The 7Habits of Highly Effective People (1989). He defines these habits as the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire. Covey sees the development of these habits as part of an entities progress on a maturity continuum from dependence to independence to interdependence (Covey, p. 49). As a part of this journey Covey asserts that there are principles that govern human effectiveness, natural laws that cannot be broken. One of these principles is that one must grow and change, not only physically, but emotionally, in relationships, and in character. Covey also points out that many times "the way we see the problem is the problem" (p. 40). Often one is looking externally for solutions that can only be found within. The seven habits Covey advances are designed to affect a principle centered, character based, inside out approach to personal and interpersonal effectiveness.

Nurses interns need to push forward from acceptable level of emotional intelligence to high level to be more effective and enhance their professional behavior and performance.

I am a Learning Support Assistant (LSA) working in KS1 in a local authority primary school with a class teacher and a Teaching Assistant (TA). I role is to support all pupils’ learning across the years groups working with individuals or a group of pupils. I also assist the class teacher in running the classroom. The teacher is responsible of deploying support staff in her class. Over last months there have been number of EAL pupils who joined our class as a result increasing the number of pupils in the lower attainment group also known as red table. The group consists of pupils with SEND, EAL, and learning or behavioural difficulties. Initially the class teacher occasionally asked me to support the red table during group work. However, I found myself routinely supporting and marking the work of the same group of pupils in all lessons. The teacher expressed her preference to work with top set table and she rotate with the class TA between the middle and the top set leaving the lower set accustomed to work with me on their table. I have regular consultations with the class teacher to discuss the pupils progress as a result, she has asked me to contribute to the planning of lessons so that I can feedback on pupils because according to her I have an in-depth knowledge of pupils in the group. I have established strong relationship with the pupils I support. However, the pupils are now over dependant on me. They seek support from me than other adults in the class during mix

During my time working in secondary schools I have worked in an administration, customer service, tutoring, communications and publication design positions. I have provided effective telephone, reception and email services to school sites which has also allowed me to welcome staff, students, parents and members of the community into the school and was often the first point of contact for stakeholders and I established strong lines of communication. In working in an administrative role I successfully delivered complex information regarding a variety of enrolment types, referring enrolments to senior members of staff where required and my diverse role has seen me produce publications including; newsletters, enews and the annual yearbook, organise school events including principal tours, update existing promotional material, maintain websites, created promotional items, liaised with media as required in relation to advertisements and manage and update the sites electronic signage. I have also processed payments for student’s extra-curricular activities and maintained generic college inboxes and correspondence, responding to enquiries and following where required. Not only this but whilst working in an administrative position I regularly maintain databases and distribution lists for mail outs and records. In doing so I am able to remain organised and provide quality customer service to the community, students, parents and staff and by using effective communicative skills I was

They carried their home around with them, everyone they passed by was their neighbor and they helped others as much as they could because they knew how much it meant. However, yes some of them are grumpy, some of them might be intoxicated but that is the scenario in every other community regardless of what social class they belonged too. Another significant thing that happened with me is fighting the urge to put more food on the plate in the serving line. That day there was so much chili and rice prepared and deep down I knew there was going to be a lot left, however, Will had to approve the portions we were putting on the plates. It was snowing outside and the people were hungry but we still had to go by the portions that Will set. It was difficult because we ran out of to-go boxes and the food was thrown out at the end, but if we had given out more food we would not have had that problem. I could not stop thinking about that all night long because of how much food was thrown out, but at the same time if we had served more food we could have run out earlier through the evening. That taught me that helping can sometimes be damaging as well. If you help too much you might run out of energy to be able to help more later on when someone else needs help, and that applied to the food as well. We served moderately so that we were sure to feed everyone instead of serving everyone a lot food at first and
