Reflective writing In this region of the Middle East, Kuwait, It is not easy to find such a wonderful weather; September 2014 with the warm sunshine, fresh air that rarely so good and a clear sky; it is Saturday and I have to start anew challenge. It’s my first day in a post graduate program in diabetes care, education and management, I have no idea about what will happen, but I have some expectations and imaginations; one week earlier, I have tried to discover the module through the information given on the website, it was nicely arranged and formative but it was late for me to do so, this wasn’t my actual plan. This is the first lesson I have learnt from this not started yet course; which is to prepare early. On that day “one of the rare weekends I have; as it comes once every four weeks because I have to work either on Friday or Saturday” I was active and ready for the new adventure, Dasman institute for diabetes is the place where we should start the course, everything was easy and quick, starting from car parking, registration up to the study classes, all the people I have seen where friendly, active and enthusiastic but some of them looks worried. For me the most important aspect was to get engaged as quick as possible to get the most benefit from this course as I haven’t been able to prepare well, I know it’s my fault, hoping to avoid in the next module. Reflective professional practice is the name of my first module, I think I’m lucky to have

The first day of anything is always going to be hard, that’s just the hard truth. In the short narrative “First Day” by Robert E. Murphy, the struggles of a first day are shown through the eyes of a medical student. Murphy used amplification, pacing, and tone to explore the struggles of a medical student first day at the clinic. Murphy uses amplification in order to show how over enthusiastic the student is to start their first day at the medical clinic. Amplification is when sentences are enriched with excess information in order to increase the worth of the sentence.

Monday October 26th: Today at Moses Cone hospital, I was in the role of student nurse. I had two patients; one a returning patient, and the other a new patient. The nurse I was working with is someone I have never worked with before or even seen on the floor, but she seemed to be familiar with the unit. It was about 3-5-45 minutes into the shift before we received hand off report. After about 8 minutes of waiting to get report on the rest of her patients, my nurse went ahead and started to see patients.

This reflection is sought about through the use of reflective cycles, for example Gibbs (1988). Reflection enables the student to develop his or her own theories behind why an event occurred, this is also achieved by linking theory to practice in order to gain a deeper understanding (Levett C. 2010, Stonehouse D. 2011). For this practice placement portfolio the reflective cycle that I have chosen is The Reflective Cycle by Gibbs (See appendix one) (Gibbs 1988). Although it wasn’t made predominantly for reflection through nursing scenarios, as it was developed for educational purposes, it does give the student a cycle which can be used easily to analyse their event in a linear fashion. Although Gibbs reflective cycle is one which is mainly focused on the event itself, rather than the knowledge that can be sought from delving further into the reasoning behind an event, it does create a cycle which allows the individual to focus on their actions and the reasoning behind what they did.

I do not think that the status of a fetus has anything to do with a woman's right to have an abortion. A fetus cannot be considered a separate person as it cannot exist outside the womb. Therefore, in my opinion I think it is the choice of a woman and no one else to dictate whether or not she can have an abortion. The rights of a bunch of developing cells, are not worth more than the rights of an actual living breathing person. Even if a fetus was alive, it does not imply the right to use somebody's else body.

I was inspired to consider a career in cardiovascular physiology partly because my mother is a nurse and also because I enjoyed studying triple Science at school.
