Common use of Program Reflection Clause in Contracts

Program Reflection. The Nursing Program Reflection is completed in response to situations that are potentially hazardous to client safety or demonstrate a failure to retain previously learned knowledge. Consideration is given to the nursing student’s level in the program and the competencies expected of the quarter enrolled. Depending on the nature of the Reflection completed, a Plan for Improvement may or may not be implemented. Sample Reflections and forms are located in nursing course syllabi. Any hospital incident report filed by the student, whether the incident is attributed to student action or not, must be reported as soon as possible to the Director of Nursing office utilizing the Program’s Reflection form. In addition, the Program Reflection may also be assigned at the discretion of the nursing instructor. Reflections may be assigned for all aspects of theory or clinical. They are most commonly the result of an incident occurring due to a student’s error or lack of judgment. Reflections are an opportunity for the student to reflect on the occurrence and learn from it. They are also a method for documenting concerns regarding a student’s performance. A suggested format is as follows: Describe the incident in your own words. What factors led (contributed) to this incident? How would you approach this or a similar situation in the future? How has this event/situation impacted patient safety? Refer to Appendix: Reflection
