The Impact of Critical Reflective Inquiry Education on Experienced Nurses’ Insights Into Practice

Successful succession planning necessitates use of innovative strategies to encourage and support knowledge recovery and transfer. This quality improvement project evaluated the impact of a critical reflective inquiry workshop on experienced nurses’ insights into practice. Nurses assessed written clinical narratives using the Critical Reflective Inquiry Assessment Tool before and after the workshop. Guided reflection led by nursing professional development practitioners fostered insight into practice, which is an essential step in supporting knowledge transfer to novice nurses.
