NURS 311N Applied Pathophysiology

Self-Reflection on Course 8 Outcomes

Purpose: The purpose of this reflection is to provide learners the opportunity to clearly articulate learning outcomes that are personally meaningful. Students will reflect and evaluate personal and lifelong growth in relationship to the course content and curricular concepts. Furthermore, this paper promotes writing skills.

Description: This assignment requires learners to synthesize what they have learned in each of the course modules/content to create a reflective response demonstrating an understanding and personal application of these topics in relationship to the Morningside curricular concepts. See criteria below.

In the column next to each course outcome, compare knowledge of the course topics, content, and learning activities. Organizes responses around each of the 8 curricular concepts: Holistic Care; Communication; Critical Thinking; Nursing Process; Nursing Roles; Ethics; Research and Evidence-based Practice; Life-long Learning and Personal and Professional Growth. Summarizes learning with depth and reflection. Includes examples. Demonstrates analysis/synthesis of ideas.

State the implications of your new knowledge for the patient population(s), facility or community you serve.

Provide examples or scenarios where you have or will apply new knowledge or skills to your daily routine to improve patient outcomes.

State any surprises you encountered in your educational journey, what you enjoyed most, and what aspects of the course remain a challenge for you.
