DNP 835 Topic 8 Reflective Journal

Learners are required to maintain a reflective journal integrating leadership and inquiry into current practice. Your journal will reflect on the personal knowledge and skills gained in this course and should address a variable combination of the following:

1. New practice approaches
2. Intraprofessional collaboration
3. Health care delivery and clinical systems
4. Ethical considerations in health care
5. Population health concerns
6. The role of technology in improving health care outcomes
7. Health policy
8. Leadership and economic models
9. Health disparities

Learners will outline what they have discovered about their professional practice, personal strengths and weaknesses that surfaced, additional resources and abilities that could be introduced to a given situation to influence optimal outcomes, and finally, how the learner met the competencies aligned to this course. Submit your reflective journal to your instructor in LoudCloud and again in the Typhon Tracking System under the corresponding course section. Learners must submit this deliverable in Typhon and LoudCloud. Failure to submit in both locations can result in an Incomplete for the course.

The mentor will perform a final clinical evaluation via the Typhon system. The mentor will receive an e-mail link at the beginning of Topic 6 to access the evaluation through Typhon. Students will access the completed mentor evaluations in Typhon under the tab for “EASI: Evaluation and Survey Instrument” and print out the completed evaluation, sign it, and upload the signed evaluation into LoudCloud. The course faculty will review the evaluation in LoudCloud and confirm in Typhon. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the mentor has completed evaluation. If the mentor does not receive the evaluation via the e-mail address on file with GCU, the student should contact the course faculty immediately.

Faculty must evaluate the student.  Students will review the evaluations and confer with faculty if needed.
