Reflective Learning Reflection is the process of learning from experience. Reflection allows you to use your experience to determine what you may do differently as a result of the learning. Reflection aids ongoing self-assessment & ensures your learning is current and relevant to your practice.
18
Reflection Narratives
Thoroughly describe the activity/ project/ event. What happened or occurred? Clearly describe your role. What do you know now that you did not know before?
19
Reflection Narratives
What have you learned? What would you do differently? How will you build on this experience? What are the implications for perioperative nursing practice?
20

Educational Presentation
Staff workshop AORN chapter continuing education Staff orientation (At least three 1 hour presentations are required) Include time/date of presentation, objectives, outcomes, topic outline or handouts, learner evaluations.
23

26
Educational resources
Patient education guide Employee guide Perioperative inservice Instructional forms
27

I am much more verbal in communicating with other team members about the importance of letting prep solutions dry before giving the cautery to the surgeons.”
28
Application of Recommended Practices or PNDS
How was this used in your professional practice? Policy/procedure creation or revision Medical legal cases

Certification is linked to continued competency.
35
Continued Competency Defined as the application of knowledge and the interpersonal, decision-making, and psychomotor skills expected for the nurse’s practice role, within the context of public health and safety. (NCSBN 1996, 1998)

Why continued competency?
Institute of Medicine (IOM): Mandate to reduce patient errors. Rate of change and information explosion demands ongoing learning from professionals.
37
Do you believe that CE guarantees competency?
The Current Common Competency requirements for nursing licensing boards is continuing education. Do you believe that CE guarantees competency?
38
How does one demonstrate learning?
It’s more than just sitting at an educational session at a conference… “You don’t know what you don’t know” “Remember what it was like to not know what you now know” “It was good enough when I graduated…”
39
ANA Code of Ethics (Provision 5)
The nurse owes the same duties to self as to others, including the responsibility to preserve integrity & safety, to maintain competence, & to continue personal and professional growth.

Monitoring may include:
Chart review Evaluation of clinical practice patterns Simulation Proctoring External Peer Review
42
Portfolio Evaluation/rating process
Credibility Dependability Confirmability Adequacy and appropriateness of data Multiple raters
43
Portfolio Review Evidence will be reviewed and judged as meeting or not meeting criteria. Two raters-third if disagreement. Reviewers-CNORs
44
Assessment or Evaluation
Formative (professional growth and development) Vs Summative (final evaluation of criteria met/unmet)
45
Portfolios-Developing a process for CNOR recertification/reactivation
Personal accomplishment Accountability Personal satisfaction Professional credibility Consumer confidence Recognition from others Marketability
46
CCI Initiatives Publish information on portfolio utilization in competency assessment Pilot the portfolio project in 2007 Plan to implement the portfolio for recertification and reactivation of CNOR credential in 2008.
