Guided reflective journals depict a correlation to the academic success of nursing students

LaGuardia Community College, Health Sciences Department/Nursing, New York 11553

Abstract 

Reflective guided journal assignments can be correlated to the academic success of nursing students in the clinical area through the evaluation of the student's level of reflective writing. The student's journal recordings can be compared with their course grades and course completion rates. Students are encouraged to better prepare themselves for the clinical area and to self-direct their learning experiences, and the nursing instructor identifies students who require additional guidance in applying theoretical concepts.
