Nurse Reflection
Experience Reflection Using John's Model of Reflection
Description
The event was relatively straightforward, though ultimately still profound, with a standard healthcare office (a nurse's office, specifically) providing the setting for the interview. Girls aged about thirteen years old were the subjects of the interviews in this study; they arrived with a parent (almost exclusively the mother), and were interviewed privately so as to obtain greater levels of honesty in the responses. As the girls were being questioned regarding their eating habits at home, and thus specifically the food that they were given by their parents (again almost exclusively their mothers, as learned during the interviews), it was thought that interviews taking place n front of the mothers would yield less accurate and truthful results, and thus lead to a mis-identification of real concerns. Most of the respondents seemed slightly shy but very willing to answer the questions, and all clearly understood the terms of the study and its confidentiality and readily agreed to answer the questions given. Many seemed slightly embarrassed when they acknowledged leading what they vaguely knew to be an unhealthy lifestyle in terms of eating and exercising, but none seemed truly concerned about the long-term implications of these lifestyles and it also seemed clear that while they know their diets were "bad" they didn't know the specific negative outcomes that obesity is associated with.

The obesity problem facing much of the world's population, including many of the world's children, is often associated with a rise in the availability of processed foods. It was very interesting in my experience to see how the parents and children of Malta used traditional...
Nursing Theory from the View of a Mirror, Microscope and Telescope The objective of this work is to examine perspective of nursing theory from the view of a mirror, a microscope, and a telescope. Theories are described as "a set of interrelated concepts that give a systematic view of a phenomenon that is explanatory and predictive in nature." (Nursing Theories, 2010) Theories are stated to be composed of "concepts, definitions, models, propositions
Researcher DevelopmentIntroductionWelcome to my presentation on my personal development plan as a researcher.My aim is to develop my skills as a researcher and use reflective models and frameworks to identify my development needs. I will then outline a detailed personal development plan with a considered rationale.Some might wonder why a personal development plan is important.

In the previous section, Estabrooks raised the question of the ability of the EBP framework to provide the "best evidence" in nursing practice and the danger of excluding nurses in decision-making tasks as a result of EBP prevalence and dominance. Rolfe, while he analyzed the empirical foundations of EBP, also looked at it from a practical perspective, or how EBP is applied in the current practice of nursing. Identifying the
Nursing Assessment Taking the history of a patient is a crucial aspect of patient assessment and treatment. A good history can mean the difference between a successful patient outcome and unsatisfactory outcomes. However, taking a complete and useful history is a skill that is developed by means of training and practice; it is not some talent that is innate (Bickley & Szilagyi, 2007; McKenna et al., 2011). According to Craig (2007)
Third, lack of attention to evidence-based practice can lead to inconsistent delivery of care services. Evidence-based practice relates to almost every aspect of health care at every stage of a client's relationship with the institution. For example, evidence-based practice informs the types of questions asked during the diagnostic procedures and might even impact the diagnosis itself (Bennett & Bennett, 2000). Evidence-based practice impacts the methods by which infections are prevented
.." (10) the result was "development of a marketing plan that defined the role of the CNL and highlighted the significant contributions of the CNL and interdisciplinary team members." (10) the work of Pohl, et al. (2007) relates that the Academic Nurse-Managed Centers (ANMCs) are sponsored by schools and colleges of nursing and are furthermore "increasingly reaching attention" as their importance is being recognized is the response they provide the
