Miami Dade College Nursing Practicum Reflective Journal Paper

I need to write reflective journal on my nursing practicum rotation (1-2 pages)

Detailed instructions are attached below. I will provide information on my rotation as well as a sample paper to an assigned tutor

1. Choose to write about any aspect(s) of practice which:

Feel the intervention made a difference in a client outcome

Feel went unusually well

Feel did not go as planned

Think captures the essence of nursing practice

2. The focus should be on the nursing practice

• What was going on (the context of the situation)?
  • Shift, time of day, resources, the clinical scenario
• What happened?
  • Detailed description of situation/incident/experience
• Why is this incident important?
• What were the concerns at the time?

What thoughts and feeling during and after the experience?

What influenced the decision-making?

What, if anything, was the most demanding aspect of this experience?

What was unexpected?

3. Choose to write about the following:

A reflection or evaluation of the situation showing the competencies and expertise used (skilled communication, teaching, leadership). Support these with current evidence-based practice literature.

Journal entries should exceed no more than two (2) pages in length (not including reference page).

Journal entries should include a minimum of two (2) citations from a peer-reviewed, evidence-based journal. The inclusion of evidence-based practice is an integral part of learning, critical thinking and growth therefore must be relevant to the journal topic and shows relevant learning.

Journal to follow 7^th edition APA guidelines and should include a title page, the body of the journal, reference page
