INTRODUCTION
Reflection can be termed as review a previous experience or incident in order to learn
from key areas that need to be improved so that better services can be given to patient for its cure
and treatment. Registered nurse is nurse that has been graduates from nursing program and is
responsible for patient care; educate them for their better health and well being. This is report
pertaining to reflection of learning experienced as registered nurse at work and the way I can
