What?

This learning concentrated on the responsibilities of the Nursing Associate in the capacity of a Practice Supervisor. Key themes included the understanding of compassionate leadership, the application of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to meet student’s requirements and reflecting on personal experiences as a trainee Nursing Associates. These activities highlighted the significance of delivering constructive feedback, nurturing a supportive educational environment and upholding professional responsibilities.

So what?

Reflecting on these activities, highlighted the vial role of compassionate leadership in guiding students towards success. The examination of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs has highlighted the importance of meeting both the professional and emotional requirements of students to foster a secure and effective learning atmosphere. Drawing from my experiences as a trainee Nursing Associates has enabled me to relate to the difficulties students encounter, thereby reinforcing the importance of patience, effective communication, and constructive criticism. This insight has enriched my understanding of responsibilities as a Practice Supervisor, where it is essential to exemplify professionalism while facilitating the development of students.

Now what?

In the future, I intend to incorporate compassionate leadership into my supervisory approach by prioritising the feelings of value and understanding among students. Utilising Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, I will evaluate and respond to their unique requirements, thereby cultivating a nurturing environment that promotes both learning and self-assurance. Drawing from my experiences as a trainee Nursing Associate, I aspire to deliver clear and constructive feedback while encouraging open lines of communication, ensuring that students feel at ease when seeking assistance. Ongoing self-reflection and participation in professional development activities will further refine my capacity to lead and support students effectively.
