Reflection: Essential Elements For Effectiveness

Improved Essays
When looking back at this whole semester, I would say that there were a few things that I did learn. Some subjects from the book definitely stood out more than others. A few key things that I can take with myself and be easily remembered. I believe that I have learned quite a few things about myself but more on the subject itself and how to handle certain situations. Taking this class I feel helped me to get a better look on how to deal with other people, learning to react to certain situations, and not everything is in your control. I enjoyed the first couple of chapters more in Essential Elements for Effectiveness. Those chapters stood out more to me than some of the later chapters. The activities in the class, like the group project helped everyone to get to know one another. Since the project was fairly early on in the semester, we got a chance to interact with people whom we probably would have never talked to. It was nice to get a chance to speak amongst everyone and learn more about them. When groups started to present we got to see different skills, seeing different things from everyone in the …show more content…
Going through college I don’t think I have ever felt this stressed about anything else. Learning about this problem in class and speaking about it really helped me out. Stress is something that is not easy to get a hold of at times and from what I’ve learned. When it comes to exams, my stress level is over the roof. Subjects such as math and science really freak me out. I sometimes feel that I’m not prepared, so when it comes to exam day especially with science I sometimes zone out and forget what I studied. This especially stresses me out because I do not like the feeling that I failed or that it was my fault. I want to pass the class and not fail an exam which could very much so hinder my

    Thirty years ago, students attending Wahconah Regional High School had a different experience as they went through their normal activities of the year. For example, if a student were to play two sports throughout the course of an academic year, they did not have to pay a sports fee (today that fee is $100). Why is that? The answer is simple. Funding is different because the tax system imposed on the seven surrounding towns.…

    The stress is usually from class assignments, homework, maybe even family issues that tends to initiate to college phobia, also known as scolionophobia. Rebecca gives a prime example from her book " Carlos was worried about submitting essays in composition class 'because of the fear and because I didn't know exactly what [the teacher] wanted'. Looking back Carlos explained how his fears initially paralyzed him, making his course work more difficult..." (page 29). I understand how Carlos feels, but he shouldn't give up.…

    Since researching this topic, my nursing practice has changed in the way that I interview, assess, and treat my clients. Throughout my education in nursing school I was always taught a more holistic approach, however I was never truly conducting my assessments and interviews with clients within this matter. I am always respectable and caring towards clients, but in my past practices within clinical, my focus was primarily on the disease process and preventing the disease from worsening. Within this semester I have improved my practice, with the help of this research, to not only treat the disease process, but to use the same focus as CAM and treat the person as a whole. I found this to also help in establishing better client-caregiver relationships.…

    During my years in high school, I didn't want to take any honors or AP classes because they were hard classes to pass. It was the same old excuses for not doing homework.

Junior year, I did not take on honors or AP classes,and in Senior year, I only took 1 AP class.…

    Reflection is a vital skill that all nurses should be competent at. The Royal College of Nursing (2017) suggests that reflection is a way to think about an activity or experience and consider what was positive and negative about it, enabling us to plan how we could do something differently or improve on for the future. The Oxford Dictionary of Nursing (2014) defines reflection as “the careful consideration of one’s own professional practice, including the ability to review, analyse, and evaluate situations during or after events (possibility using a recognised model)”. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (2017) encourages nurses to reflect, saying that it enables them to identify any changes or improvements to their practices and it’s an important…

    I started applying some principles in the book and started seeing some changes, like the courage to stand up and present to the class my ideas whenever the teacher gives me the chance to. Moreover the relationships I had with my self and others started to recover. Later when I joined high school, I was absolutely a new me. Confident as ever before, and I've helped some students who were still slaves to their peers.…

    Bradley, your post this week was very insightful, and you provided great examples to support your premise. I like how you identified that some people lack empathy for what law enforcement officers’ face when they do not possess adequate equipment. Additionally, I do not think the public understands that if the equipment were not transferred to a law enforcement agency then it would simply be destroyed. I’d like to believe when this program is utilized that it permits law enforcement agencies to establish other community outreach programs.…

    Teamwork and collaboration, good communication, and confidence are the three strengths I believe I demonstrated during this rotation. My clinical rotation as a student nurse did not only imply observing the providers, but also meant active participation on my part. Being engaged, enabled me to put into practice what I have learned in theory. The first day of my rotation, the nurse permitted me to augment the Pitocin dose by two units after 20 minutes. I thought that was exciting because I learned about the medication in the class and participated in administering it.…

    In matching Janet’s posture, language and tone, I reflected back to Janet her external behaviours. When I commented to Janet “and because you know that at the base of it’s not you it’s him” I put into my words her thoughts regarding his behaviour. Janet’s response of “well that’s the thing, I don’t let it affect me anymore…” allowed her to then explore why her reactions to her ex-husband had changed. I found this skill of counselling particularly difficult in this session due to our friendship.…

    1.0 Introduction It is necessary for me to begin my own reflection by identifying the skills that line managers require for sound people management and developing on these points to evaluate my own skill set and whether it coincides with a managers competencies.

Introduction to Psychology was the first psychology course I took many years ago. It was the class I took because I had an empty slot on my schedule.…

    Over all this class was great for me I was able to try new things with papers that I never had the chance to do before. Was able to be a lot more creative and think outside of the box and papers, I learned that some things work really well and some stuff I tried did not. I'm glad that I was able to experience this class with Professor Sue Briggs and my classmates everything I learned in the class is going to help me later in life and my…
