Help with clinical journal?

Published

Hello everybody!

i am in my first semester of nursing school. We go to clinical once a week and after we must write a journal entry documenting our experience of the day at the clinical site (in a nursing home). My professor keeps saying I must identify an NLN compentency in the entry, even though I looked up the NLN competencies and try to apply them she says it's not good enough! Anyone have any ideas of how to incorporate them or any tips? Patient safety is a good one and I applied that and she said that's not one of them .....

It would be best for you to sit down with your instructor and ask for clarification of the expectations.

Oh lawd... glad I am not in nursing school anymore.

My advice to you is scour the website and pick one of the four. Try to imitate their language. Then give it to your instructor before the due date for feedback.
