Self-reflection can be applied into practice as an advanced practice nurse by allowing me to reflect on my past experiences to identify my strengths and weaknesses to determine areas I may need for growth. I can do this by using the Gibb's reflective cycle model in my future role to not only reflect on those past experiences, but to evaluate and provide an analysis of what I can do differently. This will allow an action plan that can be created and apply to a future encounter. Overall, applying self-reflection into practice makes you look within yourself to bridge the gap of reasoning and knowledge for better outcomes in patient care amongst cultures different from my own with respect, dignity, and understanding.
