Become a reflective clinical practitioner and prepare for successful revalidation with this practical nursing guide
Reflective practice is increasingly being regarded as an essential tool for improving nursing practice, and since reflective practice is not always intuitive, there is an urgent need for an accessible guide for nurses wishing to incorporate best practices into their role.
Reflective Practice for Nurses meets this need and introduces the core concepts and principles of reflective practice. Designed for busy nursing professionals in want of a speedy overview and with jargon-free language, this is the easiest way to begin learning about reflective practice and how it can be used to support revalidation. It promises to become an indispensable tool for nursing students and professionals looking to turn the sometimes-fraught process of professional reflection into an asset to their practice.
Reflective Practice for Nurses readers will also find:
* An introduction to 14 different models of reflection
* Easy-to-read format for nurses in high-pressure professional situations
* Pocket-sized presentation for portability and use on-the-go
Reflective Practice for Nurses is essential for nursing students and practicing nurses looking to become more reflective and effective clinical practitioners.
