The theory that I practice currently is the modeling and role-modeling (MRM) theory, considered a paradigm by its creators. Modeling is the progression a nurse takes to fully comprehend their client’s world. Role modeling is the way in which the nurse understands their client’s model based on the context of their scientific theories. Nurses use modeling and remodeling to provide interventions that promote their client’s health. (McEwen and Wills, 2014)…
The principles underpinning the framework of patient, family, and community-centered care consisted in the confluence of the domains of nursing metaparadigm, cultural care diversity and universality theory, theory of caring, concept of teach, and the new worldview of unitary caring paradigm. The theory-driven practice framework embodies globalization focusing in human culture and human experiences. Leininger focused observations in human cultures such as behaviors, needs, responses, and care expectations differing from one individual to another (Leininger, 2015). Swanson centered her way of globalization applying five caring processes: knowing, being with, doing for, enabling, and maintaining belief to reach the caring-healing practice. “Caring,…
In these cases, each new theory was built upon the negation of past ideas considered archaic, obsolete or deleterious to society and its constituents. Simply, theorists likewise scientists and scholars, always try to find the new breakthrough that betters past…
By the conclusion of this paper, the reader will understand my personal philosophy of nursing. Personal Philosophy of Nursing A nurse’s philosophy involves contemplations of that person’s beliefs, principles, and values within themselves and their practice.

The aim of this assignment is to explore the Scopes of Practice involved in nursing and the importance each has on effective practice. For the purpose of this paper, the nurse that was shadowed will be referred to as Angelina Jolie and all other nurses will have name changes to ensure confidentiality. This experience took place in the South Health Campus of Calgary in the Labour and Delivery unit, where an opportunity was given to learn about the roles of several nurses and discover what domains of practice they instil in their care. Despite each individual dealing with situations differently, Scopes of Practice have a direct effect on nursing care because fostering trusting relationships, using a collaborative approach and constantly educating…
Nursing philosophy is based not only on personal ideals and morals, but also professional training. It has been defined as the thoughts on what is believed to be true about the nursing profession and provides the principal and ethical values we hold to our beliefs in nursing. The ability to care for people, as well as nursing itself, is both an art and a science. Since starting my nursing career in nursing in 1994, I will always continue to provide competent, empathetic, and compassionate care to all my patients to the best of my ability. My personal nursing philosophy is one that is essential to me and revolves around the three concepts of compassion, professionalism, and accountability.…
Research, Roles, and Values in Nursing Nurses perform many roles as they provide care on any given day. Nurses are educators, leaders, managers, providers of care, and members of a profession. They use the latest research and evidence-based practice to provide care to their patients. Nursing theories are also incorporated into the daily routines of nursing. A theory is “a method of perceiving reality and mapping the complex processes of human action and interaction that affect nursing care” (Houser, 2012, p. 135).…

This essay will describe some of those challenges.…
Theory is central to effective nursing practice and research. Nursing theory offers a framework for thought in which nurses examine situations. This framework supplies structure and organization to nursing knowledge and provides a methodical means of collecting data to interpret, explain, and predict nursing practice (McEwen & Willis, 2014, p. 36). Nursing theory is crucial for the evolution of the nursing discipline. The knowledge that is developed through nursing research is used to test existing theories and to generate new theories and ideas.…
My nursing philosophy combines the science of nursing with knowledge, empathy, as well as respect and dignity of each individual in different situations. I believe my nursing philosophy is focused on delivering quality patient care that is individualized to the needs of each patient. The delivery of care must be compassionate and empathetic for all people. Therefore, the circumstance that influenced my decision to become a nurse is having the opportunity to be with my mother during the end of her life.…
After reviewing many nursing theorist before writing this paper, I have concluded that my practice of nursing encompasses all fourteen points of her theory. The patient must be seen as a whole and not as a sum of the parts. If one is to view the patient as parts, part of the clinical picture may be missed. I view my care as assisting the patient in activities that they would normally do for themselves if they were able. I foster my patients to gain their independence as quickly and safely as possible.…

Choosing one theory is not only difficult, it is possible to change a theory during your nursing career or draw from various theories while working with patients and their families depending on the situation.…
