WEEKLY REFLECTIVE JOURNAL
- Write an individual reflective journal entry about a significant event related to practical nursing this semester. Use the LEARN format from class to complete your entry.
STEPS IN REFLECTIVE JOURNAL WRITING
- Engaging in reflection is individualized. There are several different ways to utilize reflection as a component of reflective practice.
- CNO suggests using the LEARN acronym as a useful tool when engaging in reflection as a component of reflective practice.
- The following steps are an adaptation of the CNO LEARN acronym & cycle and John’s Model of Structured Reflection.
- Use this tool as you engage in reflective journal writing throughout your nursing education at Niagara College. As a graduate nurse, you will have the skill and proficiency to complete several steps in the Reflective Practice component required for the CNO Quality Assurance Program.
- The CNO LEARN format for reflective journal writing consists of 5 steps:
L – Look Back
E – Elaborate and Describe
A – Analyse Outcomes
R – Revise Approach
N – New Trial
- These five steps should be used to guide the nurse through reflection journaling.
STEP 1: LOOK BACK:
- Recall the experience as accurately as possible. Reflecting soon after the event will assist with accurate recall. Try to see the “Big Picture”.
- Describe what happened and what you did.
- The following questions may help to clarify this step. You are not required to answer EACH question – the questions are meant to stimulate and organize your thoughts regarding the experience:
What happened? Describe the experience.
Who was involved in the experience? Who was there - client, family members, peers, other staff, physicians?
STEP 2: ELABORATE & CLARIFY THE EXPERIENCE:
- What factors contributed to the experience (Include subjective and objective data):
- Elaborate using the following questions. You are not required to answer EACH question – the questions are meant to stimulate and organize your thoughts regarding the experience:
-
How did I act?
What did I say or do? What actions did I take?
How did others respond to my actions? (Client, peers, family members, bystanders).
What bothers me about this experience?
What doesn’t feel right?
Why do I think I should reflect on this experience?
STEP 3: ANALYSE THE OUTCOME:
- Was this experience a positive or negative experience for me and why?
- The following questions may help to clarify this step. You are not required to answer EACH question – the questions are meant to stimulate and organize your thoughts regarding the experience:
What assumptions did I make about the experience?
What was I trying to achieve?
Why did I intervene as I did?
What internal factors influenced my actions?
What external factors influenced my actions?
What sources of knowledge should/could have influenced my actions?
What other choices did I have?
What happened as a result of my actions for: myself, my client, my peers
STEP 4: REVISE THE APPROACH:
- As a result of reflection, identify what you will continue to use in practice, and what you were not satisfied with and could/should have done differently.
- The following questions may help to clarify this step. You are not required to answer EACH question – the questions are meant to stimulate and organize your thoughts regarding the experience:
Could I have dealt better with the situation?
What other choices did I have?
What do I need to learn or do better?
What do I know now that I did not know before?
STEP 5: NEW TRIAL:
- Try it out!
- Consciously plan to use new knowledge and insight gained from reflection in practice.
- You may need to change your practice, seek more knowledge, or you may decide that your practice is safe and ethical and requires no change.
- Answer the following questions:
What did I learn from this experience?
What will I be able to do now that I could not do before?
What will I change in my practice to support the learning that has occurred?
How will I find opportunities to incorporate this new learning into my clinical practice?
How will I evaluate the effectiveness of this new learning?
