Reflection on a clinical skill. Introduction The clinical skill this reflective assignment will refer too is that of the measurement of blood pressure. As the experience predominantly involved feelings and thoughts‚ I found it appropriate to use the Atkins and Murphy (1994) reflective model. The use of this model enables me to reflect on the experiences described below. It also guides my thoughts as to critically analysing the experience and enlightens me as to what has been learned from the

Reflection is one component of service learning whereby a nurse integrates her theoretical knowledge into the community (Bradshaw & Lowenstein P. 452). I believe that I am learning the tools that are required to be a competent educator. I am still a novice educator‚ but with time I will develop and gain experiences in the areas that need improvement. How do YOU feel about your clinical experience?

During my first day of clinical‚ I encountered an issue that I believe is very significant. As a student nurse‚ our duty for this day was to follow our health care aide around the ward and assist in completing resident care. The resident required assistance in many of her daily tasks.

My clinical nursing experience at Chestnut Hill has had a profound impact on my academic and professional journey in nursing. As a nursing student in an accelerated program‚ I am consistently saturated with a host of medical and nursing care knowledge. In a very short period of time‚ this information must be absorbed and retained. Consequently‚ I have found it very difficult to bridge the academic realm of this program with my clinical experience until now. For example‚ if I am assigned to a patient

Final Clinical Reflection Please answer all questions clearly. Classroom Management What classroom management and lesson ideas have you observed that made an impression? The classroom management technique that was the most effective in my classroom was “class‚ class..yes‚ yes.” The teacher would simply say “class‚ class” in whatever pitch she chose and the students had to match saying “yes‚ yes.” She would even jazz it up and say “classity‚ class” and the students respond by saying “yessity‚ yes

This patient regularly acquired pneumonia‚ and with her body becoming more frail and susceptible to disease‚ she found herself in the hospital. Upon entering the patient’s room‚ I encountered an older woman slumping in her bed‚ looking restless‚ and using her accessory muscles to try to get appropriate respirations.

became a life-changing experience in my life. When my senior year approached‚ I was excited about taking the third class of Health Science Technology. Although I had taken the first and second class during my sophomore and junior year‚ this would be the year where I would get to demonstrate my true talent and developing skills. I was placed in the second group‚ which started after Christmas break. This kind of made me a little upset because I was ready to start my clinical hours in September. On
