Name:Hotlips Hullihan Date:5/1/2021
Overview: Capstone Reflective Journal
In each module, you will make an entry into your Journal. You are asked to reflect on 3 of the key points for each module. Each entry should reflect on your understanding of the topic, your experiences, and observations in your work environment or general nursing environment regarding the module topic.
This is a cumulative document. You will save it to your computer desktop or memory device and update it each week. You may choose to record more than one entry each week, especially if you have an “aha!” moment as a result of your reading, discussions, or experience. You will upload and submit the latest version of your Capstone Reflective Journal to Blackboard by 2359
the Saturday following each of the first six modules of this course. Your entries don't need to be formatted or written in any particular way because it is for your benefit. Your entries will only be
reviewed to ensure that you are making sufficient progress and thinking deeply about the requirements in the course.
2020 Rubrics Use this rubric to guide your Journal entries.
There will be a total of 6 Journal entries for Modules 1-6. Each Module you are expected to address 3 key points from the Module content, discuss how each point applies to your practice as a nurse, and, finally, how will your practice change in the future because of this information.
In Module 7 your Journal entries will be used as you write the last paper for the program, the Synthesis Paper.

Instructions
Each week, record your experiences, connections to your course goals, and reflections as they relate to the given prompts and/or your course project. You must record one entry each week but may record more (insert rows as needed). You may find it helpful and rewarding to record one entry at the beginning of the week, think about the prompt during the week, then record another at the end of the week. For privacy, refer to patients, online colleagues, and/or co-
workers with initials instead of names.
Save this document to your computer desktop or storage device after each entry to create a cumulative journal. You will upload the document and submit it each week by 2359 Saturday night. No Reflective Journal entry is made on Module 7. Remember that the more thoughtfully and intentionally you record your immediate reflections, the easier it will be for you to pull all your experiences and thoughts together for your Synthesis Paper in Module 7.
Module Journal Entries
A separate Journal entry is required for Modules 1-6 by 2359 Saturday of each indicated module. Provide details of your thinking, including insights, challenges, paradigm shifts, and goals. Identify previous course topics, readings, or research that relate to the prompt. Journal Entry Module 1: Identify 3 key points from this module. Reflect on how why each point is important, how it impacts your work experience or nursing practice, and how will you change your practice in the future based on each key area.
Key Point 1 I am aware that I learn best from reading and writing, in most circumstances, which the V ARK self-assessment tool confirmed. During class, I tended to daydream from grade school through high school. Reading my textbooks after school was how I
learned best. When I went to college, I was much more attentive, and I listened to my
professor and took notes. My textbook still helped me learn the most when it came to math. With the V ARK self-assessment tool, I scored high on kinesthetics also. In nursing school, return demonstration was essential for clinical instruction. We were checked off on starting IVs, putting in Foley catheters, measuring insulin in syringes, doing head-to-toe assessments, etc. In the future, I need to remember that patients and
families may learn differently than I do. It is important to ask patients and families what their preferred learning style is. Patient and family teach-back is important, to assess and clarify whether they have an understanding of what was taught to them. I learned about patient and family teach-back in a previous RN to BSN course. A study showed that nursing students need to have the knowledge and skills necessary, to provide safe patient care. To gain the knowledge and skills necessary, nursing instructors should assess students’ learning styles based on the V ARK model. Then, the application of a particular teaching method should be applied, according to each student’s learning style. This teaching method improves the quality of nursing education and learning. When the students transition into professional nursing, they provide safer nursing care (Amaniyan et al., 2020).
