Introduction
Baccalaureate-prepared nurses have many opportunities to reflect on their contributions to
patient care outcomes during clinical experiences. Research suggests that creating and sharing
video reflections may enhance learning (Speed, Lucarelli, & Macaulay, 2018).
For this assessment, you’ll present your approved intervention to the patient, family, or group
and reflect on various aspects of your capstone practicum experience. Such reflection will give
you a chance to discuss elements of the project of which you are most proud and aspects of the
experience that will help you grow in your personal practice and nursing career.
Discuss the development of your capstone project, and your personal and professional growth
over the course of your RN-to-BSN program.
