“Perhaps reflective practices offer us a way of trying to make sense of the uncertainty in our workplaces and the courage to work competently and ethics on the edge of order and chaos..." (Ghaye, 2000, p.7)In order to fully understand personal development and reflective reasoning in relation to your development in the field of nursing, it will be necessary to define these two terminologies. Personal development means including activities that improve consciousness, can develop potential which will ultimately improve the quality of life. Medical schools advocate personal development plans as a basis for continuing professional development. While reflective reasoning is where a nurse can apply the learning and ideas of others into their own work. In nursing courses, students learn through lecture and discussion, which is the primary method of teaching theoretical principles, but when added a more complete understanding of the relationship between theory and With practice, you can become a more competent nurse. Awareness of issues and analysis of knowledge and feelings are some steps involved in reflection, but identification and integration of new learning are also necessary. By consciously engaging in their own and others' thinking, it is believed that the level of professional interaction will improve. Motivation, an inevitable problem in professional life, just like leadership and of course conflict management, are some of the problems when we talk about personal development. The ability to reflect on ourselves is a valuable part of human life, insisted Taylor (2000). ). Reflection and reflective practice are believed to enhance professional development, connect theory and practice, promote critical thinking, lead to self-awareness...... middle of article......
