Clinical Journaling: One Aspect of Nursing

After enrolling in a course on reflective journaling, I realized how this would be an area where I could evaluate and grade my students in their clinical rotations. This would be a tool to help bridge theory and practice by strengthening critical thinking and allowing students to analyze their clinical situations and examine their true feelings. I have a master’s in nursing administration, a master’s in nursing education, a degree in nursing, and an associate degree in nursing and geriatric care management, and I am an advanced women’s health nurse practitioner emeritus.
