1GIBB’S REFLECTION
Description
I am using the Gibb’s reflection cycle to provide a details of the incidences occurred in
my clinical placement which I experienced while working in the first week of my clinical
placement which was focused on the ECU practicum placement in the General Surgical ward (G-
61) of the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (SCGH). In this situation I was working with my fellow
nurses and was caring for the patients. In this situation, I was provided with the opportunity to
provide IV medications, POAB, IVAB, Sub cut, PO as well eye drops to the patients admitted to
that ward. However, in this reflective cycle I will be discussing about the experience related to
IV medication which the surgeon asked me to provide to the patient as prescribed by him. In this
course I had to follow the nursing guidelines of the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. This reflective
section discusses my ability to comply with the guidelines and will discuss the strategy I used to
manage to complete the IV medication administration to the patient.
Feeling
Prior to commence with my clinical placement, I was unable to feel confident as I never
provided IV medication in classroom sessions and hence, I was not sure that I will be able to do
justice with the opportunity which has been provided to me by the senior surgeon. However, I
used to practice about the medication administration in my laboratory sessions and hence, I was
nervous but was hopeful for the process that I will be able to do justice with the task and hence,
and was also confident that under the guidance of the clinical supervisor, I will be able to provide
care to the patient by complying to the guidelines.
