Title: How to read a paper/Vark/Group work on Professionalism/Accountability/Codes of Nursing Midwifery Council
The day started with setting some ground rules of which everyone contributed each point, and we all agreed to uphold by it. And then we got a visit from two of our predecessors who came to speak to us about their experiences so far. Questions were asked and they both provided answers.
There was a group work of which the class was divided into three (3) groups of five (5) and each group was given one of the following topics to speak on; professionalism, accountability and the code of nursing and midwifery council (NMC). I was on the group that spoke on the code of nursing and midwifery council, and it was a success.
Reflection
This is thinking about the past and achieve better knowledge and understanding of my practise and also learning from my own experiences to improve the care I provide to patients. There are three (3) models of reflection which include Drisco (2007) Kolb (1984) Gibbs reflective cycle (1988).
Vark
This is a learning style questionnaire that shows the best study strategy.
Visual- Graph, Chats, diagrams, logos, memory maps. Aural- Listening to information, learning from listening to teachers speaking about a subject. Read/Write- Reading text dictionaries articles textbooks and outs. Kinaesthetic- Learning through movement and sensation in muscles and joints, learning using case studies, reality, concrete example.
I also learned how to read a paper from soler to surety. I understand that I have to begin with the abstract to give me a summary of the entire paper, helping me gauge its relevance to my research or interest. And then I read the conclusion which gives me the final insights and broader implications of the work.
I understand that Professionalism accountability and nursing and midwifery Council (NMC) are all interconnected and I need to familiarise myself with the nursing and midwifery council (NMC) code and as a student nursing associate the code the nursing and midwifery council (NMC) code Is not just is set of rules but a framework for developing my professional identity. I will also need to keep reflecting on my work and keep my Eportfolios up to date.
Reflection will help me Improve my work and practise, learn from my mistakes, improve assimilation, and recall ability, Help build stronger and more cohesive teams. I can use the Driscoll model of reflection to write my learning logs. Vark Model will help me understand my learning style and how to learn more effectively.
