<p>We use reflection a lot with our nursing students. We teach them one way of doing things and when they have clinicals on the floor, they may see RNs doing things very different from how we taught them or even doing exactly what we told students not to do. Reflection is important in putting together the why of why we teach them an evidenced based practice method and why this really is best practice. It is important for students to think about how what they are learning applies to (or maybe doesn't apply) to the real world.</p>
