SOWK910 Assessment One Guidelines – Reflective Writing for Nursing

Before writing your reflective journals, please ensure you read Tanguay, E., Hanratty, P., Martin, B., 2020. Chapter 2: What is reflection and why is it important? In Reflective writing for nursing, health and social work. Macmillan Education Limited, London.
