This assessment is an ongoing online personal blog activity recording students’ personal and professional journey through NURS1008. The blog is situated in FLO during topic time, and students have access to diarise until the due date, which is the assignment submission due date in the final week of topic. The final assessment piece will be a 500 word reflection summarising key points from the blog. Please prepare a word document with references where appropriate, and submit in this assignment drop box. The blog is a reflective process where students reflect on their learning from topic materials on an ongoing weekly basis. At due date and time the critical reflection summary submitted must be 500 words. This enables students to trace their journey and connect their learning to practice by creating a beginning personal nursing philosophy. In the critical reflection blog assignment students are to demonstrate a critical analysis of the material researched. In other words, this is not simply a ‘personal’ reflection it is a ‘critical’ reflection with scholarly references. Students may incorporate their personal response but not without academic rigour i.e. clear connection to the readings, demonstrating an understanding of the material, link to nursing practice and writing from an informed position. Some of the following may help you articulate your understanding of a critical reflection; What have I learnt from the topic material? How does this relate to me as a health care professional? What are the implications for my nursing practice? Why is this important for the health of Indigenous Australians? What could I work on to effect change? How could it change my health practice? What could it change for Australian health practice? You may wish to reflect on clinical placements, or situations in your life incorporating Indigenous Australia.
