Nursing Practice Learning Reflections
Find something that interests you from each of the four chapters (use PowerPoints or textbook). Post a brief share from each chapter that will add to your classmates’ understanding, insight, or future nursing practice. Your post should look approximately like this:
Chapter 30: Here is an experience I’ve had with [insert topic here]. Followed by a few supporting sentences that illustrate your experience.
Chapter 31: I was curious about [insert topic here]. I found this short video on YouTube that talks about [very brief summary]. Insert hyperlink here.
Chapter 32: This is something in my community that I would (or have) recommended as a resource. They do X, Y, Z. Insert hyperlink here.
Chapter 33: I researched this [insert job description]. Here’s what I found about the required education, job opportunities, and potential wages.
*The examples above are NOT prescriptive and can be used in any order if you choose these prompts. These are just some formats that I think might be interesting. Please choose whatever catches your interest and write up a little something about it for the sake of discussion. You will write one post with a few sentences of information about each of the four chapters, respond to one post with substance (“that’s cool!” is not substance), and read at least 10 posts, which I can track through D2L so you do not have to manufacture proof of how many you’ve read.
You must start a thread before you can read and reply to other threads

Nursing Practice Learning Reflections
Chapter 30: Pressure Injuries
I had an experience in clinicals with a patient who developed a stage 2 pressure injury just two days after being admitted. It really highlighted how fast skin breakdown can occur without proper prevention. Our care team used a pressure injury risk tool (Braden Scale), and I learned how important it is to rotate patients regularly, even when they’re stable. It made me more mindful of skin assessments and the importance of turning schedules in practice.
Chapter 31: Infection Control Curiosity
I was curious about how hand hygiene truly impacts infection rates in hospitals. I found this short YouTube video by the CDC that breaks it down in a really engaging way: How Clean Hands Save Lives (CDC). It showed that proper handwashing can reduce healthcare-associated infections by up to 50%. Watching it reinforced that something so “basic” can literally be lifesaving and should never be skipped.
Chapter 32: Community Mental Health Resource
In my community, we have a resource called Mindful Health Foundation that offers sliding-scale counseling services, mental health education workshops, and support groups for trauma and addiction. I’ve recommended them to several people struggling to find accessible therapy options. They work with both licensed therapists and clinical interns, which makes mental health care more affordable. Here’s their site: Mindful Health Foundation
Chapter 33: Nurse Educator Role
I researched the role of a Nurse Educator and was surprised to learn how many opportunities there are—both in academia and in hospital-based staff education. Most require a Master’s in Nursing (MSN), and wages average around $78,000–$95,000 depending on the setting (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2024). With the ongoing nursing shortage, nurse educators are in demand to train the next generation of nurses. It made me consider this as a possible long-term goal, especially since I enjoy teaching and mentoring others.
