Journaling provides a valuable tool for recording, reflecting on, and reviewing your learning. This approach provides an opportunity for you to \”connect the dots\” and observe the relationships between and among activities, interactions, and outcomes.
Unlike a personal journal of thoughts and feelings, this leadership journal is a record of your activities, assessments, and learning related to this academic experience.
Journal entries should include a record of the number of hours spent with your nurse leader each week.
Write a journal entry of 750-1,500 words on the subject of authority, including the following:
1. Practicum Activities Reflection: Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in your practicum setting during Topics 3-4.
2. Application of Leadership: Explain your place of influence in your professional life.
3. Practicum Project Preparation: Describe the goals you have set for your practicum project.
4. Leadership Video Reflection: Reflect on at least two things you learned from the \”Servant Leadership – Issue of Authority\” video.
Use the \”Leadership Journal Template\” to complete this assignment.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
