             This assignment relates to my chosen branch of nursing and the Developing Professional Nursing Practice Course. Students are to describe an experience from a nursing placement and discuss the following areas:- What influenced how they felt/said/behaved; How they think the patient felt; How they think /friends/carers felt; Why people acted in the way they did; How they might behave in a similar situation in the future; And has their understanding of nursing developed as a result of looking back at this experience.
             Introduction:.
             Nurses have the important responsibility of making accurate and appropriate clinical decisions. Decision-making is one skill that separates the nurses from technical or ancillary personnel (Daly et al 2002). When giving the responsibility to assist persons in maintaining, regaining or improving their health, a nurse must be able to think critically to problem-solve and find the best solution for a client's needs. The aim of this essay is to describe and discuss an experience from a nursing placement, selecting areas from the task that are appropriate to the experience. For this piece of coursework, emphasis will be on Assessment with reference to published literature. Within this study, the names of the people referred to in this experienced shall be changed in order that their real names be protected and confidentiality maintained in line with the NMC code of professional conduct (NMC 2002). The essay will be written in terms of the first person, as it is a reflective piece of work. .
             Experience is defined in Collins dictionary (2001) "as a direct personal participation or observation of something. And Benner (2001 pg 36) also defined experience as the refinement of preconceived notions and theory through encounter with many actual practical situations that add nuances or shades of differences to theory. Benner (2001), explained that experience does not necessarily refer to longevity or length of time in a position rather; it refers to a very active process of refining and changing preconceived theories and ideas when confronted with actual situations.
