...Critically Reflective Account of My Experience of Mentoring and Assessing a Student in Practice Carole Smith Student Number COX07411185 Module Title: Supporting Learning and Assessment in Practice Module No: GM6411 Attempt: First Deadline Date: August 1 2008 Submission Date: August 1 2008 Word Count: 2000 For this assignment I will give an account of my experience while mentoring and assessing a 2nd year student nurse during a six week placement.

...1) I will analyse the experience between myself as a mentor and the student under the supervision of a qualified mentor. The learning styles, The name of individuals involved shall not be mentioned in order to protect confidentiality in accordance to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, 2008) Emphasis will be put on how an environment may be created to foster a long life learning and teaching and the learning strategies that were utilised, coupled with principles of assessment and the assessment tools that were used. The role of a mentor in facilitating learning will also be appraised. What is reflection? According to, Taylor (2000), “reflection means the throwing back of thoughts and memories in cognitive act such as thinking, contemplation, meditation and any other form of attentive consideration in order to make sense of them, and to make contextually appropriate changes if they are required”. The purpose of reflection as stated by John (1999) is to promote desirable practice through the practitioner's understanding and learning about their lived experiences. John (1999) mentorship reflection. This mentorship encourages practitioners to work through a series of reflective cues, the last of which is concerned with personal learning. John (1999) mentorship provides a good example of an approach to reflection on action or reflection on practice. Reflection on action, which takes place after the event, allows the practitioner to revisit an experience with the intention of...

...The aim of this essay is to evaluate my mentoring experiences. It will also discuss skills that I have developed and how that has impacted on my professional development. I intend to provide an action plan for my development of knowledge and skills as a mentor. I have worked within a large primary school for ten years and probably for about the last five years have been mentoring more inexperienced teachers in an informal capacity. Murray (2001) in www.ttrb.ac.uk website defines this kind of mentoring as: “The deliberate pairing of a more skilled or experienced person with someone with less skill or experience with a mutually agreed goal of having the less skilled person grow and develop specific competences.” (pg Xiii) I have enjoyed this kind of informal mentoring and have gained much from working with different colleagues, as each NQT brings something different as part of their personality and experiences. More recently and more formally I have mentored a final placement PGCE student and this academic school year, who I am basing this portfolio on, an NQT student and a first year PGCE student. Both of which have been totally different mentoring and coaching experiences especially with mentees being at different stages of their career. A number of writers/researchers hold the debate over the definition of coaching and mentoring. With the NQT student I feel I have taken on more of a coaching role for example Whitmore...

...Evidence to Action: A Model Analysis Tera J. Gwaldis, RN St. Johns River State College July 8, 2015 Discussion In order to understand evidence-based practice (EBP), it is important to recognize that EBP is detrimental to the quality improvement of patient outcomes while also helping to control the cost of health care. EBP is an approach to problem-solving and clinical decision- making that incorporates the best available evidence from well-designed studies based on clinician experiences and patients’ principles, values and preferences (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2015). The assessment of the effectiveness of EBP models can help to decide which models would be most practical and applicable to the actual practice setting. The Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice stands out as a model that will be carefully deliberated for the reason that it can be used successfully to initiate a practice change at the unit and organizational levels. The Iowa model is used throughout a multitude of clinical and academic settings. This model merges research utilization and quality improvement using processes that are innately clear and logical to nurses and is unique in that it uses the concept of “triggers” meaning that evidence-based practice may possibly be prompted by either facts or data from an outside organization, or by specific clinical problems (Brown, 2014). The Ace model uses an interdisciplinary approach for conveying knowledge for use in healthcare and nursing practice...

...The aim of this assignment is to demonstrate that I can through critical reflection, evaluate my performance as a mentor to a student nurse I have been working with on the ward. According to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (2006) the term mentor is used to denote the role of a registered nurse who facilitates learning and supervises and assesses students in the practice place. They furthermore identify the eight mandatory standards that must be achieved to become a mentor, and within the assignment I shall be referring to the Standards to Support Learning and Assessment in Practice; NMC standards for mentors, practice teachers and teachers, and identifying the standards for mentors required (SM). This assignment will first look at the personal and professional reasons why I wanted to undertake the mentorship module. It will also discuss the importance of a supportive learning environment in the workplace, and how essential it is. My role as a mentor to a nursing student will be evaluated, looking at the way in which I supported her on the ward and how I facilitated this. In conclusion, I will identify my own personal development in undertaking and completing this module. As a registered nurse on a busy Paediatric ward I always enjoy supporting student nurses whilst they are on placement with us. There is an apparent shortage of qualified mentors on the ward, and within my last personal development review with my line manager I identified a need to attain the mentorship...

...characteristics specific to their developers and contributors. Ann Hamric developed Hamric’s Integrative Model of Advanced Practice Nursing in 1996, that has undergone two subsequent revisions in response to research, variations in practice, and theoretical influence. The resiliency of Hamric’s Model is exemplified by its continued presence in advanced practice nursing literature (Hamric, Spross, & Hanson, 2009). Hamric’s model presents a foundational approach to advanced practice nursing that is generalizable among all specialties of advanced practice nursing. The structural basis for Hamric’s model shares many similarities with Abraham Maslow’s Theory of Self-Actualization. Hamric centralizes a foundation in education, certification, and experience that is built upon to develop central and core competencies. These competencies are patient focused and all encompassing of actions that take place in the healthcare setting. Like Maslow’s strive for self-actualization, where one must progressively satisfy personal needs that rang from the basic biological needs to those that stimulate our intellect, one must accomplish primary criteria before progressing to the central competency of patient care, and finally becoming proficient in core competencies of the healthcare environment (Simms, Irwin, & Drinnien, 1987). Hamric, however, goes one step further to include environmental...
