ReflectionModule 8 Discussion: Self-Reflection

Self-Reflection As you progress through your MSN program, your role as a nurse is evolving from task-oriented practice to advanced clinical reasoning, leadership, and systems-level thinking. Reflect on a clinical, academic, or professional experience this term that significantly influenced how you see yourself as a future advanced practice nurse. In your reflection, address the following: What was the experience, and why was it meaningful to you? How did this experience challenge or reinforce your values, assumptions, or confidence as a nurse? In what ways has this experience shaped your professional identity, leadership style, or approach to patient care? How will this insight influence your practice as an MSN-prepared nurse moving forward? Use course concepts, nursing theory, or evidence-based practice principles to support your reflection where appropriate. Peer Responses (Reply to two classmates): Respond thoughtfully to your peers by: Identifying a shared theme or contrasting perspective Offering supportive insight or constructive feedback Discussing how their reflection expanded or challenged your own thinking Submission Requirements This is to be clear and concise, and students will lose points for improper grammar, punctuation and misspelling.
