Reflective Learning
The reflective discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered. For this assignment, make sure you post your initial response to the Discussion Area by the due date assigned and complete your participation for this assignment by Day 7.

Reflective Discussion
The reflective discussion will include peer and faculty engagement. All students will engage and support one another by sharing their nursing experiences in a supportive, constructive, and professional environment. Reflective practice is a cognitive skill that demands a conscious ability to review an experience with increased awareness of personal beliefs and values; consequently, leading to knowledge development in nursing (Patel & Metersky, 2021).
