essay is to reflect on a critical incident experience during my six week placement as a student nurse on an orthopedic ward. To explore an event as a critical incident is a value judgment, and the basis of that judgment is the significance attached to the meaning of the incident. Critical incidents are created or produced by the way we look at a situation. Tripp (1993) The incident chosen has made an impact on me due to the fact the side effects of surgery can be very critical to a patient’s life
Critical Evaluation of Incident Vachon and Leblac (2011) claim that reflective learning is facilitated by Critical Incident Analysis, the key components being a thorough analysis of an authentic, contextualised experience. In practise, through research, Kettle and Sellars (1996) established that peer reflection amongst groups of students, was integral to challenging preconceived ideas of their own pedagogy. In addition, Onjanen (1993), argues that the use of reflective journals, group discussion
This paper will reflect upon and explore a critical incident which occurred whilst attending a clinical placement. Reflective practice has become very popular over the last few decades throughout a variety of professions. In some professions it has become one of the defining features of competence. The wide spread utilization of reflective practice is due to the fact that it ‘rings true’ (Loughran, 2000). Within different disciplines, what is understood by reflective practice varies considerably
The purpose of this essay is to reflect and critically study an incident from a clinical setting whilst using a model of reflection. This will allow me to analyse and make sense of the incident and draw conclusions relating to personal learning outcomes. The significance of critical analysis and critical incidents will briefly be discussed followed by the process of reflection using the chosen model. The incident will then be described and analysed and the people involved introduced. (The names of
Critical incidents as a framework for reflection on professional learning Introduction A critical incident can be described as one that makes a contribution, either positively or negatively, to an activity or phenomenon. The process of generating a critical incident begins with a straight forward descriptive account of an event….. We create a critical incident through analysis. That is, an incident becomes a critical incident as a result of our critical thinking about it. This is the key: when you
1.) Two facts presented by each side of the critical issue? Between the two articles there are many details that differ from both sides on numerous issues, which seem to be completely different from one another. Peter Cotton as well as Grant Devilly suggested that critical incident stress debriefing also known as (CISD) was outdated by (CISM) Foundation, due to research pertaining to CISD (Halgin, 2009). Jeffrey Mitchel rebuttals that CISD was changed from the full field based on the inception, nonetheless
Critical incident responses affect people in many different ways. No one person can have the same emotional and physical stressors as the other. In my position as a law enforcement officer I deal with many stressful situations on a day-to-day basis. Calls that involve driving with lights and sirens tend to stress me out. The entire time my body is reacting to the sirens, lights, radio, and the computer. Trying to listen to critical information given over the air as well as reading the call notes
reflective practice. It is based on a significant incident from my own area of clinical practice as a state registered paramedic within the U.K. There is a discussion appraising the concept of reflection both generally, and in my particular area of practice. This is followed by an analysis of the incident using The What ? Model of Structured reflection suggested by Driscoll (2000). A rationale is given for the selection of this particular incident and also for the selection of the chosen model
Critical Incident Scenario The critical incident that I will be explaining about is regarding an eight-year-old girl currently a student at Victory Independent School District (VISD). This student wrote on her class journal that her uncle was touching her in her private parts when no one was watching. The teacher was so confused to what to do when he read Bianca’s journal, especially because he was wondering if it was appropriate for him to ask her questions about it. The teacher was concern
Reflection The aim of the assignment is to reflect on a critical incident that had an impact in practice. By doing this I will need to write an exploration of the meaning and use of reflection, research into the different models which are used to reflect in practice. Also I will need to be able to have an understanding of what could have been prevented or improved within my critical incident, what I would do next time if in the same situation and what I have learnt. I will need to back up all my
is to critically examine an incident from recent practice using a model of reflection. This will enable me to analyse and make sense of the incident and draw conclusions concerning personal learning outcomes. The meaning of critical analysis and critical incidents will briefly be discussed followed by the process of reflection. The incident will then be described and analysed and then I will discuss issues raised in light of the recent literature relating to the incident. I will conclude with explaining
The objective of this assignment is to explore and reflect upon a situation from a clinical placement. Reflective techniques will be used to reveal how well or badly the situation was handled. And how the incident, and the reflection has influenced personal learning and professional practice in relation to nursing care. According to Hogston and Simpson (2002, p398) reflection is "a process of reviewing an experience of practice in order to better describe, analyse and evaluate, and so inform

Before the clinical start, I did my regular preparation for the following clinical days on week 3. I thought I was well prepared for the clinical, I knew the client’s mental and medical conditions. But I was more focusing on the client’s mental illness and not his medical illness, so when the nurse came to me and told me that client W was experiencing shortness of breath, I was a bit shock because I was not expected the unexpected events.

The CISD was designed to promote an emotional understanding of traumatic events, this comes from ventilation and normalization of feelings and
Even after that, though, there were problems with my IV. When I was in the pre-op unit, a new needle had to be put in elsewhere because the first one had infiltrated. Also, every time any medication was bloused into my intravenous, it burned because of the condition of my veins. After being transferred from the ER to my hospital room, I was also told there were deviations in my pre-admittance EKG(s). Blood work had even been done to see if I had suffered a recent heart attack. I was also
