Critical reflection is a valuable skill to ensure patient centred care. This practice promotes personal development by enhancing students’ self-awareness, their sense of community, and their sense of their own capacities for

A rather hotly debated current topic in healthcare is the assertion that mental health suffers more staff and specialist shortages than any other sections of healthcare. Mental care takes up a unique and important place in the healthcare sector, especially in the nursing workforce.

In the latter setting, nurses work and interact in integrated teams with communities and professionals such as social workers, occupational therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists (McAllister et al., p. 575). Clearly, mental healthcare integrates multiple disciplines working to improve patients’ mental wellbeing.

Nevertheless, Laura made ongoing appointment with me as well as an appointment with a nurse practitioner at the site.

I was not sure what to expect coming into this particular meeting because every family is different and you never know how they are going to react about having an intern present. I also felt that I wish I had been given more time to look over the documents and the clients file before having to review them with the parents.
