Based on your experience in population setting of maternal child or pediatrics , reflect on (compare and contrast populations) your nursing experience, course concepts, the nursing process, how you were personally affected by this experience and how it affected your journey toward the professional nursing role.
• Briefly describe the experiences and populations (The “What”): What is the problem/situation? What was good/bad about the experience?
• Knowledge building level of reflection (The “So what”): So what does this tell me? So what could/should you or others have done better?
• Action-oriented (reflective) level of reflection (the “Now what”): Now what do you need to do to make things better? Would you do anything differently and why?
Suggested considerations:
• Population Health – practice advocacy to assist patients, families and communities to meet their health care goals; What did you see or didn’t see related to this?
• Interprofessional collaboration – What did you and other members of the team do to contribute to the situation (positively or negatively)?
• Innovation – Describe if clinical decision-making was reflective of evidence-based practice in order to directly affect patient outcomes
• Practice excellence – Were strategies implemented to minimize risk and promote quality and safety?
