Introduction
Being a nursing student my speciality is urology surgical nursing and I am in the 9th
week of my study. I had tremendous opportunity to learn several aspects of learning for the
last 8 weeks. Here, in this paper, I am going to reflect my personal experience using Gibb’s
Reflective Cycle.
Description
Nursing is challenging profession and it is important for the nurses to be skilled in
various aspects of communication and teamwork strategy required in healthcare delivery
process (Kim et al., 2019). Inter professional communication and teamwork is always helpful
in preventing medical errors and delivering better patient outcomes (Verhaegh et al., 2017).
In the last 8 weeks I learned about various techniques of communication and teamwork
strategy and its necessity. The learning was also focused to enhance the decision making
capabilities of the nurses that is highly essential in the clinical settings.
Feelings
Initially, I was less excited in the topics of these weeks but my interest grew up
gradually as the classes went on. I realized the importance of nursing assessment and how it
helps in detecting the actual problem and then upgrades the clinical decision making process
(Kocisova, Gavurová & Behun, 2019). Even I also felt how communication can clear all
kinds of confusion and conflicts that are necessary in making the care delivery process
smoother (Imabuchi, Prima & Ito, 2018). On the other hand, I was surprised to learn about
common speciality health issues and different diseases.
Evaluation

On evaluation, I must say that at the beginning I had lack of interest and less
knowledge about these topics but as the classes went on I could have a deeper insight into the
topics. The overall learning experience was extremely satisfying and it provided me
opportunity to brush up my communication skill. However, it was difficult to deal with
different health issues and learning the process of developing lifespan of patients but constant
interest upon this topic helped in overcoming the issues.
Analysis
If I try to analyze, decision making is one of the most important aspects of healthcare
that improves patient-engagement (Marsh et al., 2016). According to literatures, shared
decision making process encourages collaboration between patients and healthcare workers
while choosing any clinical option as decision (Croskerry, 2017). On the other hand, a
communicative framework is highly essential in a healthcare organization for delivering
accurate care minimizing errors through clear interpersonal communication process (Abma,
2019). My experience of learning in these weeks helped me to relate with the literatures and
it motivated me as a nursing student.
Conclusion
Finally, I can conclude that learning is a continuous process and the knowledge I
gained from the learning of these weeks will encourage me to get more involved into the
learning process in this matter. Nursing is a crucial profession and a skilled nurse is
responsible for the better healthcare outcome of a patient (Bruce, 2018). It will also help in
me in future while working as a professional nurse in my clinical settings.
