Throughout my first year of university, I heard different opinions about reflection. I gathered that some found the process helpful and for some reflection, involved no positives. Instead, it opened a can of worms for self-doubt and a decline in confidence. When I first came familiar with the term “reflective practice” I must admit I struggled with it. It’s not that I didn’t understand what is involved, instead, I found it difficult to reflect without putting myself down and finding all my faults. “My confidence plummeted and I would often spend hours overthinking every situation or worst case scenario” I could never identify my strengths or moments of achievement. Despite receiving great feedback from mentors about my practice, I kept enabling myself to fall into the trap of self-criticism. In consequence to this, my confidence plummeted and I would often spend hours overthinking every situation or worst case scenario. I guess, the most pivotal moment was out on my first placement. I was in a forensic area and I found myself in a situation where a client was displaying threatening behaviour towards myself. It was the first time I had been in a situation where I had felt threatened and after some time trying to de-escalate behaviour, I followed the area’s protocol and pulled my pin-point alarm. Post-incident, I was praised by my mentor and colleagues, for trying de-escalation techniques and for following protocol. Their feedback was really positive but it never sufficed, my mind was totally focused on what I had done “wrong” and my “failed” attempt at de-escalation. “My advice to other nursing students, never let your strengths be outweighed by your so-called ‘failings’” Fortunately, through time and through seeking debriefs, my confidence slowly grew and I was competent in building therapeutic relationships with clients. Through a lot of practice and self-constructive criticism, I slowly gained the ability to identify my strengths and what areas that needed development. It occurred to me that identifying the areas needing improvement was not a sign of “failure”, instead they were an opportunity to further my knowledge and better my practice. My advice to other nursing students, never let your strengths be outweighed by your so-called ‘failings.’ As nurses, but most of all as humans, we are constantly learning. Instead of putting yourself down be congratulatory towards yourself, be kind to yourself and recognise that through every obstacle comes an opportunity to learn and self-develop. I am a firm believer that productivity is key. If you have a goal, reach for it and never doubt yourself.
