Delays in recognising deterioration or inappropriate management of people in acute care settings can result in late treatment, avoidable admissions to intensive care units and in some instances unnecessary deaths. As the role of the nurse in healthcare settings continues to change and evolve, todays student nurses need to be equipped with the fundamental skills to recognise and manage deterioration in the patient in a competent and confident manner, as you learn to become practitioners of the future.

Using a body systems approach and emphasising the central role and function of the nurse throughout, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the essential issues in this important subject. Topics covered include: recognition and identification of physiological deterioration in adults; identification of disordered physiology that may lead to a medical emergency linked to deterioration of normal function; relevant anatomy and physiology; pathophysiological changes and actions that need to be taken; immediate recognition and response; investigations, diagnosis and management issues; and teaching and preventative strategies.

Nurses Reflection Diary ReValidation

Beware all buyers – this is a workbook, a diary you keep of your own career experiences.

Follow the stages of the Gibbs model which I explain and signpost.

It has blank pages for you to fill in.

All nurses and midwives who practice must revalidate their registration regularly. Part of the process includes reflection.

• Where to consider different ways of working
• Interventions which would have helped.
• What could I have done better?
• How can I improve my professional practice?
• This wouldn’t have happened if…

This workbook provides a means of capturing your own confidential reflections with prompts for you to follow.

There is also a dissected example of one of my own ‘not so brilliant’ nursing experiences for you to see and hopefully sympathise. See where I put each step of my disaster in the reflective cycle. The example gives you a follow-along plan to do the same with yours!

Once done, you can ask your professional supervisor to review your own written reflections and sign them off. Then scan the document and insert into your continuing professional development (CPD) portfolio.

Never search for that piece of paper again.

The Nurses Reflection Diary for Revalidation could cover over 12 years of your nursing life.

Now nurses and midwives will show their professionalism and development in one simple, easy to use, easy to keep and find diary and workbook.There are references and website links for further advice; but the genuine beauty of this workbook is that the Nurse’s Reflection Diary is a stand-alone document to look back, as I do now, and see how far you have come.
