title: Reflective growth and professional development: an ABC approach for the novice reflector.
abstract: This step guide acknowledges, today more than any other time in nursing history, nurses are being encouraged to evaluate and evidence learning. The UKCC guidelines on mandatory PREP (2001) demands a nursing profession who can evidence analysis of personal growth and development, learning from experience in practice. The step guide has been developed to enable novice reflectors to develop skills in reflective dialogue and writing. Nurses need guidance in this approach to learning more about themselves and the domain of nursing as for many it is a challenge to more formal modes of learning.
