title: Reflection and professional education: art, science, and competency.
abstract: Reflection is the process of reviewing one's repertoire of clinical experience and knowledge to invent novel approaches to complex clinical problems. Reflection also provides data for self-evaluation and increases learning from experience. The author suggests several activities which are particularly useful in facilitating a reflective nursing practice. These activities may assist educators to encourage students' clinical competency.
