REFLECTIVE2 Role of reflective practice for the Enrolled Nurse Reflective is a useful tool for both the students and qualified nurses. It is a critical and valuable incident despite being complex.it is a process through which practitioners will better their understanding of self in order to build their strengths for appropriate future actions. The discipline is significant to any enrolled nurse for a number of reasons. Firstly, it helps in enhancing the self-esteem and encourage a holistic, flexible person ready to practice and put the theoretical knowledge into action. Secondly, it assists in making the nurse make conscious attempts that will identify the learner from what is happening. It also provides a forum for rapid and progressive refocusing of workto enhance understanding and exploration of the profession. Also, reflections make the nurse view clinical procedures from different perspectives through alternative course of actions that are encouraged (Mantzoukas & Jasper, 2014) The Gibbs Model (1998) Reflection is not an easy process that can just be taken without a map or a pointer. It is for the purpose of simplifying it that models such as Gibbs model were introduced inthe profession (Chong, 2009). He proposed a reflective cycle that begins with describinga practical event and then cycling it through the following stages. First one identifies his or her feelings then evaluates the experiences. As a student who is engaged both in thepractical aspect of nursing and the theoretical perspectives, my reflections will start afteridentifying my feelings towards these things. For example, when learning on how to dress a wound, my feelings will play a greater role in helping me remember the lesson. Secondly, I will analyse the experience and draw conclusions that will include alternative actions that would have been taken and then draw up an action plan for future reference.Application of the model in my studies My learning has been enhanced throughout the clinical and theoretical experiences because of the following reasons. Firstly, I am in a position to relate the clinical experiences with the theories learned in a classroom. It is possible for me now to know when a clinical procedure is not performed correctly according to the set rules. 2
