# data[].attributes.body
What we put in the SLOT analysis- is this what we will be reflecting on in our assignment?

I'm finding it difficult to distinguish between being a RNA and now a student nurse, as a lot of the things I do now that I feel confident in, I won't be able to do as a student, so should I fill out the SLOT from a student perspective and forget being a RNA?

# data[].attributes.body
How many points should we be putting in each part of the SLOC analysis then if we are reflecting on them in our assignment and can we do this as bullet points in the SLOC or does it have to be a written reflection on the SLOC analysis

Hi,

I'm struggling to work of how to structure the assessment. Is there a guide to follow?

I struggle with this a lot!

# data[].attributes.body
LO1 Demonstrate understanding and reflect on the legal, ethical, and professional frameworks which underpin care within chosen field of practice (Adults)

IM A LITTLE BAFFLED BY THIS ONE

Is this where I bring in frameworks that underpin my practice?

2. Apply knowledge and understanding of the skills required for safe and effective care within the field of practice.

What I think I understand is LO2 is a reflection on a learning need ie communication for EOL patients and have the difficult conversations with families. I would then use Gibbs model to plan out what I need to write. (That bit confuses me)

I am a bit unsure of what I need to include in my SLOC. I am struggling to understand what content needs to be put into it. Is there anything that you would like to see included in it ?

the guidance sheet tells us that section 2 should follow the structure of the reflection model we have chosen.

if I were to choose Gibbs' cycle and chose to reflect on leadership and delegation from my SLOC, for example, would this follow the structure of

1. 6 steps of the cycle defined by headings - each heading discussing leadership and delegation.

or

2. 6 steps of the cycle defined by headings to discuss leadership and then the same 6 headings repeated to discuss delegation.

also - would 2 identified areas for development be enough providing there was good detail? and is it preferable that there is a clinical skill that is reflected upon?

hope this makes sense.

# data[].attributes.body
do specific clinical skills need to be discussed?

My SLOC is currently based around soft skills as this feels easier to discuss and find sources to support and also feels more relevant as there aren't many clinical skills I can't already perform where I work.

# data[].attributes.body
guidance sheet states to

'identify your chosen field of practice and link in your SLOC analysis'

what does this mean? Do I give a brief overview of where I currently work as an NA and how my experience from this area has helped me form my SLOC?

# data[].attributes.body
Do we reflect as an SN or as an NA, as I have seen a comment about reflection on delegation but are we allowed to delegate as SNs?

# data[].attributes.body
I have wrote general strengths and weaknesses in my SLOC. It is not specifically linked to a reflection for section 2. Is this wrong?

Hi Jane,

I'm just a bit unsure how to reference Schon as the book I have was published in 2016 by routledge. Do I need to reference it as his original copy in 1983?

I have used a few good references that date back to 2007/2008, is this classed as literature too old to still be used?

Hi Jane

When will the submission point go on where we can check the similarity without submitting the finished assignment.

Although NHS sources state the author as 'NHS professionals' for example, do we still need to put the reference as national health service professionals(2025) rather than just NHS?

Do we have to link our content of the sloc to the proficiency ie if I write about collaboration, do I then put according to 4.2 work in partnership with people to encourage shared decision making in order to support individuals, their families and carers to manage their own care when appropriate.

what is the difference between the NMC standards of prof for RNs and the future nurse standards of prof??

I have never come across or been encouraged to look at the 'future nurse' prof, but from a glance they appear pretty much the same??

In what context would you use both of these resources if needed??

Hi Jane

I'm getting confused talking about reflection and reflective practice. In the context we are talking about for the assignment, are these the same thing?

# data[].attributes.body
If using Gibbs reflective cycle, the first step is description. If for example I wanted to reflect on delegation, how can I reflect on this in practice as an SN as students would not be delegating necessarily. I am just confused as to how to describe what has happened when I haven't been in practice as student.

Also if I were to reflect on delivering news to EOL patient relatives etc, how would we describe what has happened as a student, or would I describe me talking to EOL patient relatives as an NA.

I am just getting confused as to how to describe what has happened, or do I describe in general my learning needs.

# data[].attributes.body
Am I right in thinking Schon -in action- is the concept of reflective practice

And on action is is self reflection

And together we are critically analysing ?

# data[].attributes.body
not sure which area of referencing this comes under on cite them right?

# data[].attributes.body
As a SN we are required to write several reflective accounts on pebble pad - is this something we can discuss as it is a requirement? if so how would we support this? would it need referencing to something?

# data[].attributes.body
When linking to the proficiencies how do we add them to a sentence? Would you write according to 4.1.........(nmc 2024)?

# data[].attributes.body
When writing are we writing as RNA to RN or from RNA to STN? A few of us was talking about this today?

# data[].attributes.body
Do we need to go into what CPD is? I feel I'm going off track. I've mentioned the importance of reflection in this so feel like now I need to explain what CPD is?

# data[].attributes.body
my section 2 doesn't have many citations/references due to this being more of the personal reflective part of the assignment. I am supporting where necessary but this is limited, is this normal or do I need to be relating back to sources more?

# data[].attributes.body
I'm confused about how to use the reflective model to reflect on something that hasn't actually happened? So for an example if I used delegation skills as my weakness and used Gibbs reflective cycle, am I saying for the description step that delegation is a requirement from the NMC code etc but then I'm just confused about the rest of the steps of what I would include? or are we reflecting on something that has actually happened around the skill, knowledge or professional values?

# data[].attributes.body
If I was going to use Borton's 1970, 3 step framework, would I use each step once and incorporate both areas I'm going to be developing on or do I do it twice for each skills, knowledge or professional value I am using as my area for development to reflect on?

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Jane

Can we be really specific on part two on a single learning need. For example fasting/ramadan/diabetes or f day lea it need to be more generalised than that?

Thanks

Hi Jane,

do we need to compare 2 different models? I'm short on words and I've wrote pros and cons to gibbs, which is the one I'm going to use, so didn't know if I need to then suggest an alternative and explain that too?

On the assignment brief the introduction is asking why using a structured model is beneficial in nursing practice, and again in section 1 we are being asked to ''discuss The Importance of Reflection in Nursing Practice
In this section, you should discuss the significance of reflection in nursing practice. Define "reflective models" and
explain their role in guiding reflective practice.''

It feels like I am just repeating the same information.
