On day one of the clinical posting pre-test was given for both the groups. On the eight day of the clinical posting the experimental group was introduced to reflective learning followed by group discussion and using simulated scenario. The post test was carried out on the on twenty eight day for both the groups. .Results revealed there was difference in critical thinking ability scores among the experimental and control group subjects ( t=32.729).also there was a significant positive correlation between the pre-test scores of reflective learning ability (r =0.910) and critical thinking ability(r=0.937). It was concluded that reflective learning package was found to be effective in improving the reflective learning ability and critical thinking ability of nursing students.Keywords

Background: Medication administration is a core function of nursing practice, where nurses must possess good knowledge and skill in medication administration. Training the Nursing students in medication administration helps them to become competent in their practice. How well they learn to practice their nursing skills before graduating may determine the success of their transition from being a student nurse to becoming a competent staff nurse.
Methods: A descriptive comparative design was used to compare the clinical competency of UG Nursing students. Observational checklists, knowledge questionnaire and an Opinionnaire were used.
Results: Analysis showed that,
• All UG Nursing students were found to be less competent in insulin administration. • Area wise competency analysis showed that there was a significant difference in knowledge(Z=- 3.134, p<0.05) and skill(Z=-2.004,p<0.05) scores of second and third year BSc.Nursing students, but there was no significant difference between professional behavior of second and third year students.
• Results showed that there is no significant correlation between knowledge and skill, knowledge and professional behavior of second and third year students, no significant correlation between skill and professional behavior of second year students but there is significant correlation between skill and professional behavior of third year students(r=0.372,p<0.05)
• The students' opinion showed that Procedure demonstration, Teachers' approachability, Unbiased clinical evaluation, Students interest and Confidence Were major factors facilitating their clinical competency. The factors hindering their clinical competency were: Inability to understand the discussions during nurses' rounds, Non availability of standardized protocol in the ward, Lack of support from other health team members.

Assertiveness is an important behaviour for today's professional nurse. As nurses move away from traditional subservient roles and perceived stereotypes it is increasingly being recognized that a nurse needs to behave in an assertive manner. Assertiveness is necessary for effective nurse/patient communication, and it is suggested that its development may also aid the confidence of the profession as it develops. Assertive behaviour may be encouraged through educational methods. It is preferable that nurses receive this educational preparation during undergraduate programmes. Nurse educators have an important role in the development and implementation of assertiveness training/education programmes for undergraduate nursing students. In spite of all the developments, helping nurses develop a correct attitude towards assertiveness is a knotty task. The present study revealed that interactive session on Assertiveness was found to be effective as the mean post-test Assertiveness score (27.64) was higher than mean pre-test Assertiveness scores (19.72). The mean differences between pre-test and post-test were found to be statistically significant at p< 0.01 level of significance. (Mean difference 7.920, standard error of difference 1.25, 95% confidence interval 6.95 to 8.88, t = 16.31, p< 0.01). Significant association was found only in the areas of self perception of one's participation in extracurricular activities and marks obtained in second year. Majority, 81.33% of the students strongly agreed that the session had a good mix of activities and strongly agreed that the role plays done provided a useful experience and 41.33% stated they had passive- aggressive type of response pattern and session was found to be positively sensitizing the students towards Assertiveness in clinical milieu.Keywords
