BSN-prepared nurses have many opportunities to reflect on their contributions to patient care outcomes during clinical experiences. After a patient care interaction, it is important to evaluate how well you addressed the criteria set for the nurse-patient interaction and consider future improvements. Research suggests that creating and sharing video reflections may enhance learning (Speed, Lucarelli, & Macaulay, 2018).
Preparation
This assessment requires you to prepare a 5–10-minute video reflection on your capstone clinical practicum experience. Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact [email protected] to request accommodations. If you are unable to record a video, please contact your faculty member as soon as possible to explore options for completing the assessment.
Complete the following preparatory activities:
If necessary, set up and test your microphone or headset per the manufacturer instructions.
Practice using the equipment to ensure the audio quality is sufficient.
Consult the Campus resource Using Kaltura [PDF] for guidance on recording and uploading your assessment in the courseroom.
Begin developing your reflection. Some questions you might address in your reflection video are:
What were your most important outcomes or findings?
What challenges did you overcome throughout your project?
How did your initial research and evidence base help you plan and execute your capstone project?
How were the outcomes similar to and different from your expectations?
How did you feel your professional product turned out?
What impacts of the implementation of your professional product did you observe?
To what degree were you successful in using technology in your capstone project?
How did organizational or governmental health policy impact the way in which you approached your project?
What contributions did you make to your organization’s policies throughout the course of your project?
In which areas do you feel you grew the most?
How will your learning affect your professional practice and ability to implement ethical care in accordance with professional codes of conduct?
What would you do differently if you could do the capstone project or program again?
What accomplishment are you most proud of, within the context of the capstone or the program as a whole?
Examine your capstone project through the lens of your initial plan and literature review.
