The purpose is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself as you begin to develop the necessary clinical skills as a mental health provider. It should only take a few minutes to write and no references are required (and so note the rubric for the self-reflections is slightly different from the standard discussion board rubric).
Reflection topic suggestions:
Share tips, resources, and techniques that you have found useful in the clinical setting.
Discuss collaboration with your preceptor and other clinic staff, including both positive and negative interactions.
Reflect on the role change from expert RN to novice NP.
Describe an interesting or educational experience from your practicum.
Describe an issue you are having and possible solutions.
