Mid-Range Theorists
Advanced Beginner to Proficient
Starting out IV’s scared me to death, couldn’t do it with preceptor standing over me, Working in the ER for seven years, work weekend option and coordinate, never would I think of myself as an expert, the only nurse who I knew that would be an expert is Joanne Burchfield, she was a nurse for 60+ years in the ER and knew everything and could get away with anything, except for the new computer which she hated

9. Philosophy of Nursing Broad Term Environment Caring, compassionate
Professionalism
Multi-layered
Spirituality
Read nursing philospohy

11. Jean Watson The Philosophy and Science of Caring
“Humans cannot be treated as objects, and that humans cannot be separated from self, other, nature and the larger universe”
Watson believes that while her theory encompasses the “whole” of nursing, the emphasis is on the care giver and the care recipient.
Key theory terms: Transpersonal caring relationship –connection made between self the spirit and soul, and current moment in time-not necessarily the nurse and the universe
Caring moment/caring occasion-involves an action and choice by both the nurse and the other person in which they come together-not necessarily space and time

12. Katharine Kolcaba Theory of Comfort
Nurses identify the patient’s comfort needs.
If enhanced comfort is achieved, patients are strengthened to engage in health seeking behaviors or a peaceful death.
Don’t agree with everything. Agree about taking care of patients needs and a peaceful death. Taking care of their pain. Combination of physical, psychospiritual, environmental, sociocultural

13. Nurse’s Creed Lord, let me begin today with your blessing
To provide care for those who need me
Give me patience to listen
Intuition to see beyond the visible
Knowledge to practice the art of nursing
And the attitude to deliver care with humility
Help me to see every patient clearly
Unbiased, and with individual respect
Help me to face fear and anxiety
With kind words and a gentle touch
Help me to see the joy and wonder each new day brings
And let your healing light shine through my hands
