...CMST 192 2:00-3:15 pm - Dr. Fischer Chapter 5 Reflection Listening skills are a very important for each and every person to have. Without them, how is one able to understand another? We are all guilty of poor listening at some point, especially in this generation because of all the technology we have access to. Cell phones are one of the biggest distractions to listening that I have seen. A lot of times you will see students sitting on their phones during the middle of a lecture or even sitting on their phones at a dinner table rather than listening to what the people around them have to say. Other examples of reasons for poor listening are things like the effort a person is willing to put in, being overloaded with too much information at once, not knowing enough about the topic prior, just listening to respond and not actually taking what the person is saying into consideration or simply just not having respect for a person who may be speaking. There are many ways that a person can help themselves become a better listener such as reducing noise, putting in the effort to listen, stay focused on the conversation, try to have prior knowledge, avoid distractions and be respectful! I personally am someone who is very easily distracted by my phone during classes and that is something I am trying to work on because as soon as I put it away I will get so much more out of the classes I am taking. Noise doesn’t just have to be physical, it can be psychological which is what distracts...

...Examples of Reflective Writing Example 1 I arrived on the ward at 7:30 ready to begin a 12-hour shift. After receiving handover, my mentor assigned me the job of bathing Mr B with the help of a healthcare assistant. Mr B has Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), a progressive disease of the nervous system with rapid deterioration due to spongiform encephalopathy. He is not expected to live to Christmas, even though he is only 19 years old. He is mentally aware of what is going on but is physically unable to demonstrate activities of daily living, including eating and drinking, has limited communication skills and is doubly incontinent. He is unsafe on his feet so mobilises with a wheelchair. I approached Mr B’s bed and asked his consent to take him for a bath. While the bath was running we began helping him to undress. He looked rather nervous. At the thought of myself being in his position, being the same age as him, I began to feel embarrassed too. I thought that I could not possibly be a professional individual if I let my embarrassment and sympathy get in the way of my nursing care. We assisted Mr B into the bath and started his wash. I knew he was uncomfortable and wanted to be able to wash himself, but was unable to do so. I was finding it difficult to look him in the eye, especially when it came to washing his genitalia. I tried to ease this by making conversation, but in a way this made matters worse. After the bath we dried Mr B, dressed him and returned him...

...Week 5 Learning Team Reflection Summary - Team B BIS/220 Monday November 25, 2013 Week 5 Learning Team Reflection Summary - Team B Introduction Personal Life In week four of our text, we discuss the procedures in which traditional systems development life cycle can be implemented in an organization. The SDLC has six processes in which information system is process: systems investigation, system analysis, systems design, programming and testing, implementation, and operation and maintenance. These six processes are important for organizations to use when deciding on an information system; however, these processes are not only for organization, but also for personal use as well. When deciding whether to get a new operation system for a personal computer, you can have some of the same challenges. Consumers have to decide what kind of budget they have, what will the system do for them, and will the system last for a long time before having to get another system. As a personal user operation systems will be outsources, but you would still want to use the investigation and analysis process to see if the quality of the system will fit your needs. For personal use, system design and how the system looks is an important feature, such as colorful feature and users-friendly tools. During this process we can create the backgrounds for our system making is a customized system for our use. When getting the system, the user will want to install and test the product to make sure...

...experiences to the theoretical learning approaches (Oxbridgewriters, 2011). Definition Cont’d It is a process by which practitioners focus on how they interact with their colleagues and environment in order to obtain a clearer picture of their own behaviour, thus building on existing strengths. Reflective Practitioner is usually engaged in some kind of activity (often professional) which they can use to reflect on their strengths, weaknesses and areas for development (Somerville & Keeling, 2004) Definition Cont’d Critical reflection includes questioning routines, habitual practice, challenging “conventional wisdom”, being able to ask others and ourselves “why-type” questions . Such as: 1What is my nursing care like? 2 Why is it like this? 3 How has it come to be this way? 4 What aspect of it would I like to improve? 5 Whose interest are being served (or denied) by my job? (Scribid, 2010) Benefits of Reflective Practice Increases confidence and allows one to become a more proactive professional; Improves the quality of care given and close the gap between theory and practice; It provides a deeper understanding of our approach to nursing and leads to greater effectiveness as a nurse; (Somerville & Keeling, 2004; Wipp, 2006) Benefits of Reflective Practice Improves communication and interaction...

...TEN TIPS FOR WRITING EFFECTIVE REFLECTIONS 1 CLARIFY WHAT’S WANTED Before proceeding, consult and highlight the Guidelines and Requirements provided for this Reflection. Refer to these documents repeatedly as you prepare your work. 2 USE THE CHECKLIST As you proceed and when you’re finishing, use the Checklist to ensure you’re covering the essential content requirements. 3 KEEP IT TOGETHER Give your Reflection a definite structure and ensure that it’s logical and coherent. One simple framework is the one implied in the Requirements: start with “Describe your workplace” and move systematically through all the other items in order. 4 BE PRECISE Use language precisely and carefully when describing, analyzing and interpreting your experience. Make sure you know the meaning of any new words that you want to use. 5 SUPPORT YOURSELF Support your assertions, generalizations and judgments with clearly described, concrete examples where these are obviously necessary. Identify any of your assumptions that might not be obvious on the surface. 6 DON’T “I” TOO MUCH Saying “I feel” or “I think” occasionally is acceptable, but using such expressions too often consumes valuable space -- and annoys the reader. 7 Say it simply One way to impress readers is to say things so clearly, simply and plainly that they can’t fail to understand you. This is the opposite of striving for effect by piling on fancy adjectives, “big words,” and other embellishments. 8 Be your...
