Using Narrative and Reflection to Enhance Expertise in Practice

Learning Objective #2: Discuss the findings of three studies that have used reflective practicums to develop expertise in nursing practice
This symposium will provide an overview of the theoretical and philosophical bases of narrative and reflection and discuss strategies that can be used to enhance expertise in practice. The first paper will discuss the theoretical and philosophical bases of narrative and reflection. The second paper will outline the design of specific intervention strategies that have been used to extend expertise in nursing practice. These intervention strategies used the mediums of narrative and reflection to effectively bridge the gaps between theory and practice. The third paper will highlight the findings of three qualitative studies that have used narrative and reflection to extend expertise in practice.
