In comparison to the second nurse I interviewed, a staff nurse working in the hospital who is also a recent graduate from a BSN program.

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. Theorist Selected: Florence Nightingale Description of Theory: Nightingales theory encourages that maintaining the environment can directly and indirectly restore a patient’s health. Nightingale’s theory is explained as the environment, patient and the nurse interact with one another. She believed that the environment can in-directly and directly effect a patients health and it has great benefit on the healing process when controlled and managed to patient recovery Her theory encouraged collaboration and cooperation as the focus of the nurse-patient relationship.
Jean Watson and the Theory of Caring University of Phoenix NUR/403 Jacqueline DePaulis, MS, RN, FNP February 7, 2011 Jean Watson and the Theory of Caring Jean Watson’s theoretical approach to nursing care incorporates spiritual, humanist, and holistic aspects. The Eastern philosophical influence to her work speaks to the ideals of human morality, connectedness of all humans and to altruistic nursing care. This paper will discuss the background and concepts of Watson’s theory, as well as a nurse/patient transpersonal interaction. In the context of this interaction, the theory’s major assumptions and carative factors/caritas will be explored, as well as, a personal reflection on this transpersonal moment. The Background of Watson’s Theory Jean Watson began her career as a diploma nurse, then, graduated with her baccalaureate in nursing science in the early nineteen-sixties; she advanced, to receive her masters in psychiatric nursing within two years.
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. Using Bloom’s framework and guiding staff members to review current documentation with data in small segments would allow staff members to focus on the important clues and draw accurate conclusions (Larkin & Burton, 2008). This framework allows the instructor to measure the outcomes of the educational activity while moving the learners from basic to higher levels of cognitive function (Larkin & Burton, 2008). Bloom’s Taxonomy’s in Nursing Education allows nurses to broaden the use of their critical thinking skills by researching the patients care. Through progress notes, labs work results, physicians orders, operative reports, and data collection worksheets allows a nurse to assemble a plan for the patient during his or her hospital
Running head: CLINICAL PRACTICUM ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS Clinical Practicum Analysis and Synthesis Janis A. Franich Ferris State University Abstract This paper presents an analysis and synthesis of the practicum experience for NURS-740. The issues, concerns, and challenges related to the application of the role, academic nurse educator, are examined in the clinical, laboratory, and classroom settings. The strategies and approaches that were applied reflected knowledge from practice, theory, and research from previous course work of the Master of Science degree in nursing program at Ferris State University and experience as a registered nurse. The clinical project that was undertaken for this practicum is described and analyzed for application to the role of an academic nurse educator. Evaluations that reflect judgments about the performance of the graduate student from nursing students, the preceptor, and the graduate student are examined.
Theoretical Basis: Watson's Theory of Human Caring An advanced practice nurse (APN) to help guide professional practice and provide a working framework can use many different theories and models. Theories provide a foundation in which an APN can seek to understand patients and their problems and effectively plan interventions. Basing our practice on a particular theory can help improve the care we provide by not only providing structure but also providing boundaries and goals for our nursing actions and it defines a framework to evaluate the effectiveness of the actions we provide (Eldridge, 2014). This paper is going to review Watson’s theory of human caring and provide a description of the interrelated concepts for the grand nursing theory. The theorist’s background and perspectives will be explained and lastly the theory will be discussed as to how it can serve as an underpinning and improve nursing practice.

Code Of Ethics Scenarios NR 222: Health and Wellness When the first code of ethics for nurses was developed in 1893, the profession of nursing publically declared its commitment to maintaining a certain set of values and duties to all of the world (Martha D.M. Fowler, 2010). Even though the code of ethics that we use today has been revised (several times) from the original version, the basic principles that nurses follow are generally the same this many years later. Nurses around the United States use the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics in their daily practice today. The guidelines of the Code of Ethics help nurses make critical thinking decisions, resolve conflicts, properly care for their patients, and adhere to other various
This paper will display the theoretical framework of Virginia Henderson and include an educational plan and implementation of Henderson’s theory to a medical surgical unit. Overview Henderson defined nursing as helping people, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health and its recovery or to a peaceful death. They would perform these activities unaided if they had the necessary strength, will, or knowledge (Fitzpatrick & Whall, 2005). Henderson believed nurses need to teach the patient to care for self. She also believed that rehabilitation is the responsibility of the nurse.
