Reflective Practice Assignment
Task Descriptiontask.
This is an INDIVIDUAL assessment. Compose a 1500-word reflective essay (with 10% leeway over or under the specified word count). To complete this assessment, you must apply Gibbs' Reflective Cycle (1988) to the inherent requirements needed to complete the CQUniversity Bachelor of Nursing Course.
Background:
This assessment focuses on Standard 1 of The Registered nurse standards for practice (Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia [NMBA], 2016, p. 3). This assessment will allow you to begin to develop the reflective skills necessary to meet this standard through reflecting on CQUniversity Inherent Requirements. To complete this assessment, apply Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle (1988). Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle is a model often used to structure reflections on experiences. The Cycle was first published in 1988 in the text ‘Learning by Doing’ (see below for details on how to access the book if interested). The model includes six stages of reflection, detailed below. The Cycle is designed to encourage you to think systematically about an experience and create an action plan from the experience. Please use the Cycle and questions below as a guide to complete this assessment. Answer the questions detailed below in Box 1 that correspond to each stage of the Cycle.

3 Reflective Practice Assignment
Compose a 1500-word reflective essay (with 10% leeway over or under the specified word count). To complete this assessment, you must apply Gibbs' Reflective Cycle (1988) to the inherent requirements needed to complete the CQUniversity Bachelor of Nursing Course.
Background:
This assessment focuses on Standard 1 of The Registered nurse standards for practice (Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia [NMBA], 2016, p. 3). This assessment will allow you to begin to develop the reflective skills necessary to meet this standard through reflecting on CQUniversity Inherent Requirements. To complete this assessment, apply Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle (1988). Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle is a model often used to structure reflections on experiences. The Cycle was first published in 1988 in the text ‘Learning by Doing’ (see below for details on how to access the book if interested). The model includes six stages of reflection, detailed below. The Cycle is designed to encourage you to think systematically about an experience and create an action plan from the experience. Please use the Cycle and questions below as a guide to complete this assessment. Answer the questions detailed below in Box 1 that correspond to each stage of the Cycle.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
