Reflection
It is essential to consider the relationship between decision-making, critical thinking, research, and experience and how these factors play a role in nursing practice. This reflection activity is comprised of two sections, collectively totaling a minimum of 500 words.
Complete your reflection by responding to all prompts:
1) Interdisciplinary Model of Care and Tribes
Watch TEDTalks:
“David Logan—On Tribal Leadership” TED, (2009).
TEDTalks:
David Logan—On tribal leadership (16:35) [Full video], Films on Demand.
Consider the following questions as it applies to your nursing practice as you watch the video:
• To what tribes do you belong?
• Are you a tribal leader?
• Are you moving your tribes forward?
• Thinking about your nursing place of practice, what stage do you think your tribe is in?
• What values does your tribe have?
• How does the concept of interdisciplinary collaboration apply to your identified tribe?
• What other tribes collaborate with you in your nursing practice? (Describe at least 3 identified other tribes.)
• Summarize your own experience with such a model, providing at least 3 examples.
2) Evidence Driving Practice
Thoughtfully consider the following questions theoretically and from the nursing profession:
• How does research influence clinical decision-making?
• How does experience influence clinical decisions?
