Nursing Reflective Analysis
For my finial reflection I have decided to reflect on the reflective practice itself and my abilities to practice reflection, as it appears I am having some issues with the process. After receiving an A- on my last reflection, I spoke with my Faculty Advisor (FA) with the intention of discovering why I was not achieving marks in the A+ range on my reflections, and what I need to work on to improve on the quality of my reflections. Her feedback was that I was too broad in my approach; I spend too much time discussing the event and did not go into enough depth in my reflective analysis. I hope and anticipate that this reflection will be better; as I hope to demonstrate a deeper analysis of the issue and techniques I can use to improve my skills.

These students found that discussion with their preceptors and peers was more “constructive and easier then writing reflections.”(Caldwell & Grobbel, 2013, pg. 322) I completely identify with these finding and feel that I would benefit from discussing the issues, with colleagues, in addition to writing formal reflective journals. Elmqvist, Fridlund, and Ekebergh (2012) also found that incorporating group reflection into the reflection process in addition to the reflective journals is particularly important and beneficial.
