Introduction
Today I will be talking about the Importance of Reflective practice in Nursing Scholarship. Reflective practice is an essential skill in health professionalism. Reflective practice refers to the process of thoughtfully considering your experiences. Reflective practise allows you to consider what your strengths and weaknesses are, to identify what you need to work on, in order to perform to the best of your capability.

Thus, scholarship is the character, qualities, achievements, and activities of scholars and is synonymous with learning, knowledge, and study. Scholars learn to be thinkers within a field of learning.
I have analysed the concept of nursing scholarship by breaking it down into different skills that I need to develop during my studies. A nurse scholar, (1) experiences long academic study resulting in the mastery of nursing knowledge, (2) possesses discovering skills by investigating, resulting in original research, (3) has the ability to creatively think through and analyse connections (scholarship of integration and originality), (4) is dedicated toward the dissemination of nursing knowledge through teaching and
