Part 2: Development Plan
My development plan from assessing the incident above will equip me with the skills necessary for more effective handling of such incidences. This is crucial because it will help me prepare myself for such circumstances as they are never-ending. Individuals should be confident and emotionally capable of handling self-reflections. Self-reflections reveal an individuals’ weaknesses and help them to transform these weaknesses into strengths for handling future problems and dilemmas (Dubé & Ducharme, 2015). Therefore, my action plan entails different strategies to boost my confidence and, ultimately, my nursing practice.
Firstly, my personal development need is researching more on the provision of the NMC standards and the code of professional practice. This will help me practice under these guidelines and avoid errors during practice that may result in a suit against me. Moreover, this will help me engage more in learning, training, education, and development to improve my skills and performance in school and ultimately nursing practice.
I will need support and updates from my learning facilitator after every two months because it will help me understand my progress and identify areas of improvement. I will also look for a role model like an RN who will show me the care process in nursing practice (Price & Reichert, 2017, p.17). This will enhance my skills and help me to be more knowledgeable about my practice.
I will evaluate and review my development by setting attainable, measurable, realistic, and achievable goals for my future student nurse placements for the experience. I will engage with my facilitator to understand my learning needs and discuss with him as we evaluate my future goals through assessment and interview sessions.
Conclusion
This study has helped me do a thorough self-reflection using the Gibbs reflection cycle, which entails the description of the situation, my feelings about the incident, evaluation, analysis, action plan, and conclusion. I am now more confident in dealing with future incidences that require my prompt but effective actions as per NCM guidelines. The NCM emphasizes patient and provider safety in the nursing practice. Moreover, First aid training is crucial in this day and age as it helps save lives and prevent adverse or fatal consequences. Furthermore, I realized that the healthcare system should look at the condition of hospital departments and solve issues such as understaffing to reduce patient wait time and prevent worsening of patient conditions as they await care. Finally, this reflection has boosted my confidence to handle the same incidences like the one above in my future practice.
