Gibbs' reflective cycle questions for nursing students
For nursing reflection, Gibbs' reflective cycle is a six-stage question structure: description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and action plan. Use it to organise a de-identified experience and deepen the student's own reasoning, but let the assignment brief decide the final structure and depth. The cycle is not a nursing-specific clinical standard, university marking rubric or grade predictor.
