The capacity for evidence-based project implementation, evaluation, and dissemination as well as for research and nurse leadership improves with continued practice. Learning from practice is espoused by Kolb’s theory of experiential learning summed up as “constructing knowledge and meaning from real-life experience” (Yardley, Teunissen & Dorman, 2012, p. 161). Such learning is possible by engaging in reflection with the purpose of drawing insights that will enhance future practice. Without reflection, there is very little chance of rectifying prior mistakes or addressing weaknesses. Thus, self-reflection is one strategy that I will use to further my professional development goals.

In an organizational set up, expertise entails the skills, comprehension and attributes of employees or systems which make a distinction between them and the novices or the inexperienced personnel.
