"This book provides a roadmap for how nurse educators and nurses can reimagine learning environments and guide learners in developing literacies and competencies for building effective relationships, psychologically safe inclusive environments, and meaning and purpose. Educators, learners, and nurses are invited to connect through meaning, purpose, ethics, and theory that grounds them in caring consciousness. Nurse educators and nurses who engage students through reflective practice and create safe spaces to explore what it means to be a nurse lay a foundation for learners to find their voice and engage in courageous caring actions to secure the future of nursing and global health. A key feature is melding these concepts into a re-imagined model of reflective practices as nurses re-envision the balance between their personal and professional lives. Specifically, this book guides educators and nurses on how to facilitate learners at all levels for digging deeply into themselves to cultivate a critical awareness of who they are, and their values, beliefs, and assumptions as the beginning point for engaging in caring relationships with others. Reflective practices facilitate each of us in understanding how personal knowing informs our moral, ontological, and intellectual practice as a nurse, developing awareness for achieving social justice, diversity, and inclusion. Teaching and practicing nursing are relational endeavors ... thus, relationships play a crucial role in understanding the complexity of nursing practice and the way we work together inter- and intra-professionally. Reflective Practice, 3rd Edition, pulls together multiple approaches for self-development individually and collectively through adaptable exercises and micro-practices, bringing awareness of invisible biases contributing to microaggressions. This book also incorporates unitary caring science, quality and safety, and the new AACN Essentials with a reflective lens... emphasizing lifelong learning and the significance of being in a community with others"-- Provided by publisher.
