About the Book

Vital notes on reflection, decision making and professional development provides a concise, accessible introduction to reflective practice, clinical-decision making and professional development. It explores models of clinical decision making and reflective practice and their role in professional development; the nature of professional practice and inter-professional working, competencies and accountability, clinical supervision, and portfolio development. The topics addressed are all essential to enable student nurses to develop into competent practitioners who are able to think critically about their actions, work within professional boundaries and be accountable for their decisions and actions in nursing care.
