Abstract

This study aimed to answer the following questions.

  1. If novice nurses, less than 18 months experience, utilize reflection without prompting in their practice?
  2. If so, does using reflection foster clinical reasoning in novice nurses?

The use of reflection in novice nurses would foster their ability for clinical reasoning resulting in increased professional competence and self-confidence.
