Assignment task: Journaling provides a valuable tool for recording, reflecting on, and reviewing learning. This approach provides an opportunity to "connect the dots" and observe the relationships between activities, interactions, and outcomes.
Unlike a personal journal of thoughts and feelings, this practicum journal is a record of activities, assessments, and learning related to this academic experience.
Practicum journal entries should include a record of the number of hours spent with your nurse leader each week.
Write a reflective journal entry of 750-1,500 words responding the following:
1. Practicum Activities Reflection: Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in your practicum setting during Weeks 6-8.
2. HCA and Interprofessionalism: There are several ethical principles important to health care. Using both Christian ethics and your personal ethics, values, and worldview, describe what you feel are the two most important ethical principles to heath care. Although there are no wrong answers, be sure to justify your reasoning.
3. Practicum Project Preparation: Discuss the existing and potential barriers that you will face during both development and implementation of the project.
4. Evidence: Find a current scholarly resource article related to something you have done in practicum during the past 3 weeks. Relate the article to your experience.
Use the "HCA-670 Practicum Journal Template," located on the Student Success Center page under the MS-HA tab to complete this assignment.
