Reflective teachers are open to the individuality of students Reflective teachers recognize that the social process of education is also personal, and that it cannot be coerced from others, but must be chosen by them.
Reflective teachers are sympathetic to the interests, needs and insights of the students capacity as reflective thinkers Reflective teachers take seriously students problem. Hypotheses , and conclusions. Reflective teachers are patient Reflective teachers know that it takes time for ideas to be developed, delineated, and evaluated
Reflective teachers are flexible. Reflective teachers allow for divergence and technological change. They seek to expand option rather than limit them. They consider alternative methods and points of view ,and they are willing to change their mind. Reflective teachers explore, investigate ,and grow. They are suspicious of their own conclusions because they know that they are learners.
Reflective teachers are self regarding Reflective teachers take their own reasoning processes as part of their field of inquiry. They are conscious of their assumptions, logic, choices, priorities, and conclusions

Both theory and practice must supplement and support each other rather than come as two distinct and separate experiences. Nursing skill requires 3H. Head now needs to hold more, Hands must be ever sever and more skillful and Heart must open ever widest as the head and hands become busier. Integration of nursing education with nursing service is important to give a quality nursing care.
