Student Comments: I exemplified professional responsibility
and accountability in the classroom and practicum setting
through my punctuality and communication skills. To continue, I
worked with both verbal and non-verbal residents and used a
variety of methods of communication to ensure that information
was being communicated to the resident with clarity. This is
evident with a resident who could not hear so I had to client
read the instructions I had written out on a paper and
communicate with me for clear conversation. Another example
was with a resident who was non-verbal as well as unable to
see me, nurses must be resourceful to find methods to
communicate information and share information to foster
therapeutic environments and thus I asked “yes and no”
Student Comments: I exemplified professional responsibility and
accountability in the classroom and practicum setting through my
punctuality and communication skills. I communicated through
emails and zoom meetings with my preceptor, while also
documenting my interactions through interactions logs. I utilized
relevant technologies with a resident through creating a
personalized playlist to their preferences to promote emotional and
spiritual well-being. In this specific case, I displayed empathy,
active listening, and responsiveness to non-verbal cues. This
involves asking open-ended questions to this resident and
understanding what personal factors influence the type of music
that will best cater to their needs. . I also followed infection control
protocols and safety measures to ensure the well-being of

questions that would allow the resident to nod yes or no to
answer my questions to have an effective music share session.
Registered nurses are accountable for the care they provide to
uphold professional standards, I displayed this through
interaction logs that document the experience I have with each
resident and are submitted to the Music Share agency to keep
track of my coming and goings to stay accountable for the care I
provide.
residents and staff. I took responsibility for my actions and sought
guidance from my preceptor when faced with challenging
situations. I reflected on my experiences and sought feedback to
improve my practice and enhance my skills. In the classroom, I
demonstrated professional responsibility and accountability by
actively participating in discussions, completing assignments on
time, and seeking clarification when needed. I respected the
opinions of my peers and engaged in constructive dialogue to
enhance my understanding of the subject matter. Overall, my
commitment to professional responsibility and accountability has
enabled me to provide high-quality care to residents and enhance
my learning experience. I believe that these qualities are essential
for success in the healthcare profession and will continue to uphold
them throughout my career.

CCD Comments: (1) Jobin expresses his ideas through verbal CCD Comments:
communication, listening, and written in his reflective praxis
notes. Jobin is punctual and on time when he comes to praxis
seminar each week. He communicates by e-mail if he has
questions or wants to relay information and is accountable for
his clinical practice. Jobin understands the various work
assignments and shows a willingness to accomplish tasks on
schedule. Jobin has handed in all his clinical assignments on
time up to the midterm evaluation. Jobin is encouraged to
review feedback within his praxis notes and to continue to work
on the connection of the Community Health Nursing Standards,
and course concepts when reflecting on his clinical
experiences.

Student Comments: I understand that community health nurses
integrate health promotion using the Ottawa charter health
promotion strategies as well as the community health nursing
standards of practice and these were applied in my music share
sessions. I created a supportive environment with a resident
who often was isolated socially, to ensure they felt comfortable I
slowly build rapport by speaking clearly and taking time to
acknowledge the resident. This fostered a supportive
environment as I was able to slowly build a therapeutic
relationship with the resident. I displayed professional
responsibility and accountability by documenting my
Student Comments: I continued to meet the standards of health
promotion through my praxis notes, where I used the community
health nursing standards to reflect on my clinical practice. I also
applied nursing theories to analyze these events to enhance and
reflect my nursing practice. This was achieved specifically with my
second oral praxis note. I reflected on an experience with a
resident who talked to me about death and dying, I reflected on my
experiences, analyzed the concept of death and dying using Erik
Erickson’s developmental theory as well as the community nursing
standards. Adhering to CNO entry competencies is vital as nurses
and I applied the competency of clinician in the community by

interactions in an interaction log forum that the music share
organization keeps watch over, this displays my accountability
for the care I provide in the long-term care home. Throughout
the first half of term, I also focused on capacity building as most
of the residents I encounter are socially isolated and therefore
through recognizing this we try to use music sharing as a mode
to build on any existing strengths. An example would be a
resident who had not had any visitors from her children in some
time, she was visibly sad whenever she heard footsteps at the
door and found they were not for her. Seeing this, I took extra
time and spent about an hour with her as we listened to music
that brought many memories and encouraged her; the resident
now looks forward to music share with me on scheduled days.
providing music therapy that is safe, ethical, and compassionate.
This involves respecting residents’ autonomy, ensuring a safe and
comfortable environment during sessions and upholding respect in
the delivery of music therapy services. This was evident with a
resident who did not seem to be feeling up for a music share
session, it seemed as though she was just saying yes because she
felt obligated. I felt that this was a non-verbal cue that I couldn’t
miss so I reminded her that she doesn’t have to feel pressure to
listen and that no parties will be hurt if she refuses. She thanked
me and then revealed that she didn’t feel like it and that next week
she will be willing to listen. This demonstrates the nurse’s
knowledge and judgment to view both verbal and non-verbal cues
to provide ethical, compassionate, and safe care.

CCD Comments: (2) Jobin has begun to demonstrate his CCD Comments:
understanding of community health nursing practice by his
commitment to learning about the Community Health Nursing
Standards of Practice and through his discussions of his clinical
experiences in praxis seminar each week. In addition, he has
begun to apply some research to support his decisions and
thoughts which has been demonstrated through his bi-weekly
reflections. Jobin is encouraged to critically utilize the
Community Health Nursing Standards routinely within his praxis
notes and within his discussions in class as this guides his
community health nursing practice. Jobin participates regularly
in praxis seminar discussions during class.

Course Goal:
4. Caring and Critical Thinking: Analyze ethical/legal issues and professional trends in community health nursing.

support of research activities.

Midterm Evaluation Pass Final Evaluation Pass Fail

Student Comments: I demonstrated completion of this goal as I
advocated for a resident who felt as though her thoughts and
opinions were not being seen, felt, or heard. I had talked with a
member of the recreation team, and he invited her to a meeting
where residents shared their opinions on how to better long-
term care. I am a lifelong learner who also throughout this term
learned the importance of holistic care strategies such as music
therapy. I conducted background research on the organization
prior to starting the practicum learning more about the impact of
music therapy, even experiencing first-hand as a resident told
me that the music brings her back to Italy and her husband,
feeling at peace in the moment. I also developed my personal
practice by learning how to create better therapeutic
relationships through meeting and speaking to residents and
nurses to learn important aspects that can apply in my care and
future to better support my learning as well as future practice. I
also displayed advocacy for socially isolated residents who are
unable to speak up for themselves through Music Share and
provide services outside the physical to meet their spiritual and
emotional needs.
Student Comments: I demonstrated this goal through advocating
for residents in my walking survey. My survey was a call for change
and improvements that could be made to improve the care and
quality of the facility. This was evident as I walked through the
facility and noted down the information my five senses sensed.
Advocacy was demonstrated in another instance as a resident was
in pain and resulted in me calling and the nurse to look into it. The
resident complained of a pain in their left knee and found it difficult
to move. Hearing this I went to the nursing station and brought it to
the attention of both the nurse and charge. This demonstrates
advocacy as I extended the voice of the client to ensure they
receive the care they need to achieve optimal health outcomes. I
also demonstrated scholarship through my lifelong commitment to
excellence in practice through continuous learning and critical
inquiry in my praxis notes. My praxis notes demonstrated my
curiosity and reflective thoughts that serve to shift my current
practice and grow as an aspiring nurse. I also displayed
scholarship through my learning plan, where I recorded Likert scale
results and plotted them on a pie chart to analyze the impact my
playlist has on the residents.

impact of ethical and legal issues i.e., through discussions that
have taken place in praxis seminar. Jobin is compassionate
towards the clients he is working with, and he has connected
and partnered well with the interprofessional team that he is
working with this semester. Jobin is responsive and treats all
members he comes in contact (e.g., clinical course director, and
peers) with respect and dignity. Jobin is also encouraged to
continue building on his critical thinking skills when writing his
praxis notes and when he completes his three learning goals
throughout the remainder of the semester.

CNO Entry-to-Practice Competency Statement #8: Educator. Registered nurses are educators who identify learning needs
with clients and apply a broad range of educational strategies towards achieving optimal health outcomes.

Midterm Evaluation Pass Final Evaluation Pass Fail

Student Comments: This goal was met as I collaborated with Student Comments: This goal was met as I collaborated with the

Music Share volunteers on Tuesdays to help discuss how we
can improve in providing care to the residents. I also collaborate
with the recreation team to identify “at risk” residents who are at
most risk for social isolation. Community assessments such as
walking surveys were also completed to identify the needs or
missing pieces in the delivery of care at the long-term care
facility, this enabled me to develop consultation and health
promotion skills to better develop my knowledge of the
community. I also provided education on what Music Share is
with a resident who was unfamiliar with the idea, I explained the
process and ensured the resident understood music therapy as
a way of healing and helping others.
CCD Comments: (4) Jobin has demonstrated that he is working
in partnership with his community aggregate this semester. As
well Jobin is developing his learning plan and has begun to
conduct his windshield survey. Jobin has also demonstrated
that he is flexible and open and is willing to participate as an
advocate in partnership with his CCD and community praxis
group. Jobin continues to work on assessing his community to
identify factors (both positive and negative) that may affect his
population’s health. Jobin has begun developing his community
assessment skills and health promotion skills and is working
towards completion of his learning plan goals and e-portfolio by
the end of the semester.

recreational team members to deliver better care to “at risk”
residents. This involved adding three new residents to my list and
establishing a therapeutic relationship with them. This also includes
coordinating the creation of playlists that cater to them on a
personal level. I also had an instance where I conducted a second
walking survey after midterms to take the “inside information” that I
know and combine it with my initial thoughts to provide clarity on
the issues faced by the community. I spoke with a doctor at the
care center and introduced music therapy as a form of spiritual and
emotional healing to which he replied, “great idea.” This is an
example of both being an educator as well as collaborator as I
educated the doctor on music therapy benefits as well as worked
with him to meet some of my assigned residents and establish a
therapeutic relationship with them. My e-portfolio also serves as a
way to demonstrate my knowledge and skills in the process of
partnership with the community. I uploaded my praxis notes and
gave a brief introduction to what I do during placement. Education
was also exhibited in tutorial discussions where I reflected and
discussed the Erik Erickson’s developmental theory, learning from
other nursing students in the process.
