Reflective Practice in Nursing
Academic Skills & Professional Studies | Reflective Practice | Study Skills for Nurses
This book has been adopted within a year 2 module where students are required to complete a reflective assignment. The book helps the students to critically reflect in their assignments and move away from simple description. I particularly appreciated the chapter on guided reflection and reflecting with others as it echoes the module of supervision that we use in the programme when we have placement based meetings.
Reflective Practice in Nursing aims to make sense of, experiences that can sometimes seem uncertain, chaotic or even mundane to practitioners expected to reflect upon their own work and given situations. This book introduces nurses to reflection in a clear and practical manner, explaining what reflection is, why it is so important to nursing practice and the different types of reflection that can be used to help make sense of practice.
Informative and easy to read
Clear and easy to read enabling understanding of reflection and how it can be used to aid learning and enhance practice
This book is clearly written promoting good understanding of reflection and reflective practice. The link to the NMC Standards and Essential Skills Clusters, interspersed with scenarios and case studies, makes it a valuable resource for all students.
I will be placing this title on my essential reading list. This series offers students an engaging overview of the subject as well as allowing them to explore it by providing activities.
A practical approach with links to current legislation/codes
This book is well laid out and easy to read. I particularly like the reference to the NMC Domains and the Essential Skills Clusters for pre-registration nursing students.
The case studies and the activities are excellent and provide students with the opportunity to think more critically and to learn more deeply.
The chapter on reflective writing will be especially useful for undergraduate nursing students and also postgraduate students on the health visiting programme.
Good book as supports students in understanding Reflective practice
Great supplementary book for BSc Nursing
