The reflection paper should be both informative and reflective — i.e. what you are doing, what you are reading in the literature, how what you are doing corresponds to what you are reading, and what you are feeling/learning. An acceptable reflection paper will: (1) Describe what you’ve been learning and doing at the practicum site; (2) Report on literature that pertains to your practicum experience and/or your project (a minimum of 3 journal articles within the last 5 years on your topic should be referenced); (3) Include appropriate reference citations in APA style; (4) Include a reference page in APA style; (5) Include an element of reflection; (6) Be relatively free of grammatical errors; and (7) Be written in a style appropriate to the standard of the professional nurse. It is anticipated that the paper will be 2-3 typed, double-spaced pages plus a cover page and a reference page. The student learning outcomes for the course should be incorporated or woven into the paper. For example, something you have learned about interprofessional teamwork or communication specific to the population of clients in your worksite/practicum setting should be addressed in the paper.
