State of Advance Practice/Week 2 Patricia Grayson-Canty Chamberlain College of Nursing NR 510 Leadership and Role of the Advanced Practice Nurse Terri Schmitt Professor Spring B 2014 Introduction The purpose of this paper is to further examine the state of advanced practice nursing from a local, state, national, and international perspective. The role of the nurse practitioner (NP) “evolved from the shortage of primary care medical providers in underserved areas in the 1960s” (DeNisco & Barker, 2013, p. 20).

The adaptation level represents life processes and are described by Roy in three levels: integrated, compensatory, and compromised life processes.

Hildegard Peplau published the first nursing theory in 1952 and was recognized internationally as a nurse leader. Peplau’s Interpersonal Relations Theory emphasized the nurse as a change agent for patients healing. This encouraged interaction between the patient and nurse including concepts of anxiety, frustration, conflict and needs (George, 2011). She describes four steps in the interactional process that are relevant to nurses; orientation, identification, exploitation and resolution (McCrae, 2011). Her work contributed to the development of the National Mental Health Act of 1946 as well as providing input to the World Health Organization and National Institute of Mental Health (George, 2011).
Historical Development of Nursing Timeline Meredith Glivar NUR / 513 December 9th, 2013 University of Phoenix Historical Development of Nursing Timeline The purpose of this paper is to define nursing science, the historical development of nursing over the years while uniting established ideas, theoretical views and established theories. I will additionally explain relationships between nursing and other disciplines such as, (philosophy, religion, education, anthropology, the social sciences, and psychology). Essentially, nursing is described as a science internationally by some individuals like John Daly – Australia: as “A discrete body of knowledge comprising paradigms, frameworks, and theories.” Dr. Gail j. Mitchell – Canada: “Nursing science represents clusters of precisely selected views and values that are crafted into distinct theoretical structures.” My preferred perception of nursing is written by Dr. Teruko Takahashi – Japan: “Nursing science is a unique human science which focuses on phenomena related to human health.” Moreover, Dr. Takahashi continues to describe nursing as unlike natural sciences such as medicine, nursing science focuses on the quality of life for each person.” (George, 2011) Chronological development of nursing theory started out in the year 1850, whereas Florence Nightingale begins her training as a nurse at the Institute of St. Vincent de Paul at Alexandria, Egypt. Florence developed over the years while experiencing training thru Germany: a Protestant religious community, thus moving into Paris: to study with the sisters of Charity, followed by New Zealand. Next she expands her travels to Turkey to assist in the Crimean War.
Overview According to Parker and Smith (2010) The Theory of Human Caring was developed between 1975 and 1979 while I was teaching at the University of Colorado. It emerged from my own view of nursing, combined and informed by my doctoral studies in educational, clinical, and social psychology. It was my initial attempt to bring meaning and focus to nursing as an emerging discipline and distinct health profession that had its own unique values, knowledge, and practices, and its own ethic and mission to society. p.352. As nurses we come out of school with our own group of beliefs and views on how we should take care of patients.
