Reflective Practice / Self assessment
Reflective Practice is the process of self assessing your practice and identifying
learning needs for continuous learning. Reflection can be a very powerful tool and is a process of purposefully thinking about an event or situation in clinical practice that provides meaning to your area of expertise. It assists you to identify areas of strength and areas you may wish to develop further. Reflective Practice can help to develop new approaches for our practice and prepare for new challenges. It can also help us to better understand our values, beliefs and the assumptions we make about situations, ourselves and others.
Reflective practice should be evident throughout specific competencies within your portfolio, however, you may find that you need to write about an event in your nursing practice that was significant for you. Chose an appropriate clinical example as evidence for a competency (DNP Essential) and write your reflection on this – on how you made a difference for (a) the client and (b) yourself.
Reflective writing in the development of a professional portfolio is an opportunity for nurses to put down on paper “how” they have gained insight into a situation.
Reflection is largely concerned with looking back at an event in the practice setting – but with a view to the future (Hillard, 2006). The process of reflective writing requires the nurse to make links between thought and action, concept and praxis and is illustrated with perceptions and personal insight with clear links to a situation that has created an impact on the nurse, the patient, and/or a nursing colleague. Confidentiality of matters related to patient health-care information, the context of a situation, and the use of pseudonyms needs to be given careful consideration to ensure that confidentiality of health care information is maintained, and privacy is not breached
Welcome to my home on the web. My name is Main Uddin , and I am a board certified family nurse practitioner (FNP-bc)currently working at Advantage care physicians rochdale village internal medicine department. This Portfolio was designed by me with multiple purposes in mind; however, the driving forces were the need to develop a web-based e-portfolio to house an evolving path of accomplishments while I pursued the degree of Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) as well as detail past and present professional nursing roles.
Being a nurse practitioner was my number one career choice and making continual advancements in the field is an ongoing personal goal. In many ways, I chose this career path as it chose me. I enjoy direct patient care and interactions, formulating differential diagnoses, and implementing a treatment plan. The wide scope of this field provides daily challenges, provokes intellectual stimulation, and encourages adaptability. As an FNP, I have a professional goal to master the skills of correct diagnosis, improve the processes of nursing practice, and appropriately educate my patients and their families so they are empowered to gravitate toward a healthier life. To complement this goal, I decided three years ago to pursue a DNP degree through lehman college CUNY – School of Nursing. I knew that further knowledge and experiences gained through this doctoral degree would elevate me to be an even better healthcare provider, patient advocate, and role model.
My background prior to becoming a nurse practitioner included direct patient care as well as leadership in critical care Registered nurse at Lenox hill hospital services. After progressing to an advanced practice nurse, my first ten years was spent in an internal medicine practice which helped to lay a solid foundation for treating a multitude of health conditions.
