Shift report: a time for learning.
Shift report provides an opportunity for professional communication that supports role socialization and development of a cohesive group process in the health care system. In this learning project, nursing students were able to practice professional behaviors, prioritize information, and reduce material to the boundaries of a work setting without relinquishing the holistic approach to the client. Critical thinking, direct application, self-analysis, peer critiques, and problem-solving processes were used by the student groups which will assist in their role transition to professional nursing practice.
