/in /by

The purpose of the reflective journal is to allow the student to develop a reflection of self, therapeutic use of self, and reflection of relationship assessment skills and therapeutic communication with another person. The student may use the following formats for reflection (the paper is to be written in one of these formats only):

  • Johns’ Model of Reflection
  • Carper’s Ways of Knowing
  • Sister Roach’s Six C’s of Caring
  • Boud’s Model of Reflection

Discuss a legal or ethical issue you have discovered during a mental health nursing simulation or in current event discussions this semester.  Identify and consider the ethical principles that were evident in the situation and how these principles were adhered to or violated. What did you learn from this experience & how will it impact your practice?  Utilize one of the models of reflection (above) to frame your response.
