ISTAN Reflective Journal



Reflective Journal: To be completed individually and turned into Mrs. Dukes the Thursday after your simulation rotation.

1.   Discuss 4 tasks you completed or tried to complete in simulation lab.
I administered calcium carbonate, I completed a head to toe assessment, I obtained a BG, I assisted w/ transporting pt to a U/A.

2. What did you learn most about the situation(s) you encountered in simulation lab? I learned to assess an IV and not necessarily remove it just because there is no label.

3. What will you do differently during your next simulation experience? I will be mindful of what I am touching with gloves on.

4. While watching your peers’ simulation experience, what are 3 things you learned? How to do a blood draw from an IV, the proper way to turn on humidification to oxygen, and how to do an ampicillin IV push.

5. What 3 things did you learn in the classroom (didactic) that you put into practice during your simulation experience? Assessing pt’s pain, always verifying name, DOB, and allergies, and medication education.
