No unread replies. No replies.

Reflect the concepts addressed in this week’s lesson plan and required reading. Recall a challenging experience in either your personal or professional life. In the initial response, start with an introduction that includes a brief description of two core values that influence your nursing practice and interaction with others. Provide a concise description of the challenging experience. What core values were challenged in this experience? What lessons were learned from this experience? How did the experience inform future professional behaviors, decisions, and actions? Provide a specific example on how lessons learned from the challenging experience were applied in your professional practice. Use at least one outside scholarly reference to support your position.

 

This week, the concepts of knowing self, self-awareness, and cultural humility will be addressed. Students will explore different personal values and beliefs and how these can affect patient care and professional relationships and practices. Students will participate in introspective reflection related to their own values and beliefs and develop a plan to promote personal and professional growth.
