What is Nursing? How would you define Nursing? NRS 320 2012 7/24/2019

Definitions of Nursing Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations. (ANA) (Nursing's Social Policy Statement, Second Edition, 2003, p. 6 & Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, 2004, p. 7) NRS 320 2012 7/24/2019

Definitions of Nursing "the act of utilizing the environment of the patient to assist him in his recovery (Nightingale,1860) Notes on Nursing; what it is and what it is not. the knowledge of nursing, or in other words, of how to put the constitution in such a state as that it will have no disease, or that it can recover from disease (ibid) NRS 320 2012 7/24/2019

Nursing: Art or Science? Evidence – Based Practice makes Nursing a science-based profession Sources are important Scholarly Journals NO wiki Clinical Judgments based on observation, experience, patient preference/values and research – experience/opinion alone is not enough Justify decisions – what to do, how it is done, why it is important Measure outcomes Document facts NRS 320 2012 7/24/2019

ART Can you ‘pretend’ to care? Will patients know? What made you want to be a nurse? Chances are, it was another nurse! Caring is the ART of nursing NRS 320 2012 7/24/2019
