Nursing Student Reflection: A Lens of QSEN Competencies

Here’s what to include:

• Introduction: Briefly describe your clinical rotation and the specific patient encounter you’ll be reflecting on.
• QSEN in Action:Choose at least 2-3 QSEN competencies that were relevant to your experience. For each QSEN competency, explain how it was applied in a situation. Provide specific details and actions taken by yourself, the healthcare team, or the patient. Analyze how the application of the competency impacted patient care or your learning.
• Impact on your development: Explain how this experience has helped you to develop your understanding of the chosen QSEN competencies. Did it challenge any preconceived notions you had about nursing practice?
• Conclusion: Briefly summarize your key takeaways from the experience and how it will influence your future nursing practice.

Here are some prompts to guide your reflection:

• Did you encounter a situation where clear communication (Teamwork & Collaboration) was critical for patient care?
• Did you observe a nurse advocating for a patient’s safety or autonomy (Patient-Centered Care)?
• Was there an instance where evidence-based practice (EBP) influenced a treatment decision?
• Did you witness how technology (Informatics) played a role in patient care?
• Was there an opportunity to learn about quality improvement (QI) initiatives?

Additional Tips:

• Be specific and provide concrete examples from your clinical experience.
• Use professional language and avoid medical jargon when possible.
• Reflect on your own emotions, thoughts, and actions during the encounter.
• Be honest and objective in your analysis.
• Proofread your reflection carefully before submitting.

By reflecting on your experiences through the lens of QSEN competencies, you can gain valuable insights into the core principles of safe and effective nursing practice.
