Practicum Journal 5

Assessment Traits

Requires Lopeswrite

Assessment Description

Journaling provides a valuable tool for recording, reflecting on, and reviewing your learning. This approach provides an opportunity for you 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 your 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 each week.

Write a reflective journal entry of 750-1,500 words responding the following:

1. Practicum Activities Reflection: Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in your practicum setting during Weeks 11-12.
2. HCA and Interprofessionalism: Describe how interprofessional collaboration can be used in staff education and development.
3. Practicum Project Preparation: Discuss what type of staff development is necessary for your project. Will this be one-time or ongoing? How will you ensure it is completed?
4. Evidence: Find a current article related to something you have done in practicum during the past 2 weeks. Relate the article to your experience.
