title: The value of reflective practice for nursing.
abstract: This paper notes the dawning of reflective practice on the horizon of nursing practice and sets out to explore its value for nursing. Central to this value is the potential of reflective practice to enable practitioners to develop clinical expertise towards achieving desirable and effective practice and, through collaborative research, the development of a valid disciplinary knowledge grounded in practitioners' personal knowledge.
