Reflective Practice in Nursing

Reflection enables making sense of, and learning from, experiences that can sometimes seem uncertain, chaotic or even mundane. It is a core skill that student nurses must grasp in order to develop professionally, and is a requirement of the professional standards. This book introduces student nurses to reflection in a clear and practical manner. It shows different ways of using reflection to learn and develop as a practitioner, including exploring personal experiences. It gives practical tips on using reflection throughout the pre-registration programme and empowers the student nurse to take ownership of their own learning by developing this important skill.
