A History of Nursing
A History of Nursing explores the history of nursing by investigating the earliest records of the caring profession, how it progressed and what established it along the way to becoming the nursing we see today. It starts at the beginning of the story – how, once upon a time, all we had to depend on was Mother Nature. Over time, education and standards improved for the safety, development and governance of the profession. Not everything was plain sailing and the book introduces lesser-known people who made this possible, sometimes at great cost to themselves, and the effect military nursing had on the nineteenth century in turning nursing from religious principles to the secular nursing we see today. How did nursing go from being knowledge handed down through ancient scripts, folklore and sometimes by accident, to the degree-level, accountable practice of modern times? And why do nurses not wear hats anymore? A History of Nursing answers these questions and more.Read more

Follow the stages of the Gibbs model which I explain and signpost.

- What could I have done better?
- How can I improve my professional practice?
- This wouldn’t have happened if…

There is also a dissected example of one of my own ‘not so brilliant’ nursing experiences for you to see and hopefully sympathise. See where I put each step of my disaster in the reflective cycle. The example gives you a follow-along plan to do the same with yours!
Once done, you can ask your professional supervisor to review your own written reflections and sign them off. Then scan the document and insert into your continuing professional development (CPD) portfolio.
Never search for that piece of paper again.
The Nurses Reflection Diary for Revalidation could cover over 12 years of your nursing life.
Now nurses and midwives will show their professionalism and development in one simple, easy to use, easy to keep and find diary and workbook.There are references and website links for further advice; but the genuine beauty of this workbook is that the Nurse’s Reflection Diary is a stand-alone document to look back, as I do now, and see how far you have come.
