Evaluations that reflect judgments about the performance of the graduate student from nursing students, the preceptor, and the graduate student are examined. Clinical Practicum Analysis and Synthesis The purpose of this practicum was to provide an opportunity to gain experience and knowledge about the role of an academic nurse educator. The objectives of the practicum were developed using the National League for Nursing (NLN) core competencies for academic nurse educators. The responsibilities for which academic nurse educators are held accountable are related to the eight core competencies described by the NLN (NLN, 2005). The analysis and synthesis will utilize the NLN core competencies to discuss issues related to the application of the nurse educator role, strategies and approaches that were applied to the role, and a description and analysis of the clinical project that was undertaken.
Kozier and Erb (2007) defined nursing theory as providing direction and guidance in structuring profession nursing practice, education, and research while providing differentiation from other disciplines and serving as a template for the assessment, intervention, and evaluation of nursing care [ (Kozier, Erb, Snyder, & Berman, 2007) ]. The spectrum of nursing theory encompasses four metaparadigms consisting of the patient, environment, health, and nursing, with the focus of nursing centering on the patient [ (Kozier, Erb, Snyder, & Berman, 2007) ]. Nursing theory can be divided into a series of specific philosophy, each addressing a different aspect of nursing care with a common end result – enhanced patient care. The theories involve include – needs theory (centered around assisting the individual achieve his/her maximum functional potential), interaction theory (involve the relationship between the nurse and the patient), outcome theory (the nurse is a change force who guides the patient to adapt to illness), and caring/becoming theory (the patient and the nurse are brought together due to the fundamental act of caring) [ (Meleis, 2012) ]. The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast a nursing theorist from each of the aforementioned nursing categories.
Orem’s model is the self-care theory whereas Peplau’s uses the interpersonal theory. Orem advocate that the domain and limitations of nursing as a field of practice and a field of knowledge is placed along the Self Care Model and the conditions that exists when findings are made to build the patient’s plan of care. Pepluau’s interpersonal relationship theory developed so nurses can better know their patients. This theory also teaches how to better nurse patient relationships. Pepluau’s is comprised of four phases including: (1) orientation, (2) identification, (3) exploitation, and (4) resolution whereas Orem’s (1) self-care deficit, (2) self-care, (3) nursing systems.

2) They identify structures of care and care processes, which influence patient care outcomes. (Montalvo, 2007, para. 3) Structural indicators are comprised of the supply, skill, education and certification of the nursing staff. Process indicators measure nursing assessment, intervention and job satisfaction. Outcome indicators reflect patient outcomes that are most influenced by nursing care.
Nursing Theorist Grid Use grid below to complete the Week 4-Nursing Theorists assignment. Please see the “Nursing Theorists’ Grading Criteria” document, located on the Materials page of the student Web site. Name: kisha Theorist Selected: Dorothea Orem Description of Theory: According to Somchit, (1989), Orem’s theory, “Focuses on self-care needs of the patient and is a deliberate action of the nurse who views patients in terms of their self-care capacity. Orem has specified the relationship of her concepts into a set of theories that are interrelated in nursing: theory of self-care deficit, theory of self- care, and theory of nursing systems. With Orem’s theory the focus of nursing is the individual, more specifically the individual’s self-care requisites.
Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education and its use in Nursing Education Devon M. Jones NUR/427 November 21, 2011 Marc Verlasky Abstract Today’s nurse is faced with caring for patients with more complex diseases and addressing the needs of each patient. Bloom’s taxonomy was developed as a tool for educators to classify learning objectives and skills for students. This taxonomy has been used extensively by educators in allied health fields, including nursing, to structure lesson plans and outcome testing (Larkin & Burton, 2008). In this paper the description of research conducted on Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education and its use in Nursing Education will be discussed, the application of the research conducted in Nursing Education, and the discussion of the three domains outlined in Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education. Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education and its use in Nursing Education Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education research was conducted to allow staff members to more clearly understand the patient’s situation and think more critically in preventing patient complications.
Critique to Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing Name of Student Institution of Affiliation Critique to Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing Evidence-based Practice (EBP) is a study aimed at finding the effectiveness of the design-models put in place through the incorporation of information obtained from patients and clinicians (Levin, Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, Barness & Vetter, 2011, p.22). EBP is important because it offers an insight into the effectiveness of the models put in place in the healthcare system, their effectiveness while at the same time reducing the costs. EBP can be thought of as a practice aimed at empowering the medical practitioners while at the same time ensuring that patients get the best health care at a reduced cost (Levin at al., 2011, p.21). EBP is a systematic research review whose impact will continue to benefit both the patients and nurses in the medical healthcare setting. According to Levin et al.
