Nursing salons: an opportunity to reflect on our practice

Creat Nurs. 2010;16(4):188-9. doi: 10.1891/1078-4535.16.4.188.

Abstract

In the practice of nursing, we bring our clinical knowledge and our humanity to the intersection of professional and patient. We have the opportunity to learn and grow from each of these encounters to improve our practice and our insight into the care we provide. However, such learning and growth requires intentionally reflecting on those interactions with the goal of identifying successful and unsuccessful strategies in care delivery. This article explores ways in which nurses can reflect on their practice, with particular focus on the nursing salon.
