Today,  we had a day out of placement and went to university. We completed the apprenticeship survey, which provided an opportunity to reflect on our learning experience and overall progression within the Nursing Associate program. Additionally, we engaged in a discussion on the significance of feedback in nursing and reviewed the feedback given to the Joicy modules.

The apprenticeship survey was a valuable tool for self-assessment and reflection. It allowed me to evaluate different aspects of my learning journey, including the quality of teaching, support from mentors, and workplace experiences. Providing honest and constructive feedback in this survey ensures that the program can identify strengths and areas for improvement, ultimately enhancing future learning experiences for students.

Feedback plays a crucial role in professional development within nursing. It helps individuals identify strengths, recognize areas needing improvement, and continuously enhance their skills and knowledge. Effective feedback, whether given or received, should be constructive, specific, and aimed at fostering growth. During our discussion, we explored how feedback contributes to patient safety, professional accountability, and lifelong learning.

During the session, we also reviewed the feedback provided for the Joicy modules. This exercise highlighted the importance of structured and well-articulated feedback in improving learning resources. It reinforced the idea that feedback should be an ongoing process, rather than a one-time occurrence, and should be used as a tool for continuous learning and development.
