Problem
Journaling provides a valuable tool for recording, reflecting on, and reviewing learning. This approach provides an opportunity to "connect the dots" and observe the relationships between activities, interactions, and outcomes.
Unlike a personal journal of thoughts and feelings, this practicum journal is a record of activities, assessments, and learning related to this academic experience.
Practicum journal entries should include a record of the number of hours spent with your nurse leader.
Write reflective journal entry responding to the following:
A. Practicum Activities Reflection: Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in your practicum setting during Weeks 1-2.
B. HCA and Interprofessionalism: What are your goals for your practicum project? Why is it important for the project goals and organizational goals and values to align? How will the goals for your project refine and build skills related to your career goals?
C. Practicum Project Preparation: Summarize the process and results of your needs assessment.
D. Evidence: Find a current article related to something you have done in practicum during the past 2 weeks. Relate the article to your experience.
