Reflective writing is a tool utilized in nursing
education to help you process a clinical event through critical thinking and
recognize how you can grow from your thoughts on the event. To guide you in this assignment, you will
follow the 5 stages of Gibb’s model for the reflective writing as noted below. Your instructor will utilize a consistent
scale for grading. The expectation is
for you to critically reflect on a clinical event that occurred, and to process
this event in your role as a developing RN using these stages.
Many people find that they learn best from
experience.
However, if they don’t reflect on their
experience, and if they don’t consciously think about how they could do better
next time, it’s hard for them to learn anything at all.
This is where Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle is useful.
You can use it to help your people make sense of situations at work, so that
they can understand what they did well and what they could do better in the
future.
What Is Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle?
Professor Graham Gibbs published his Reflective
Cycle in his 1988 book “Learning by Doing.” It’s particularly useful
for helping people learn from situations that they experience regularly,
especially when these don’t go well.
The overall goal is for you to: 1) grow in your role
as a future nurse by reflection and 2.) to assist you in developing skill in
writing a document by mastering flow, grammar, content, references.
Your paper must be written in APA 7.0 Style
including references and in-text citations from the references. You are to
select a topic from your reflective experience to further research and explore
in order to meet the criteria for this assignment. Please utilize the Grading
Rubric to maximize your grade.
You may use the questions in each stage below as a
guide. Document your reflection utilizing critical thinking and write in a comprehensible
way, be able to meet the criteria in the grading scale.
