I have learned alot about these theorists. I'm just trying to put it together so that i understand. I've read. I've watched videos. Nevermind I'll figure it out.

Looks like i was overthinking one part. I was trying to get a better understanding of neumans environment so i could explain it. I watched her interview on the nursing theorist website. Read several books for the class. I see how information is gathered for an assessment but never went into specifics. Don't have time to pay 30 for her book.So i just guessed.

Ummmm.... don't do this again. Guessing is not a functional approach to college education.

You know what i find funny. I asked for help just clarity. And the responses i got. Hmmmm. I been apart of this community for years. I have read many posts. From shoes to schools to nursing situations. Always answered like 100 times. But i have Never seen a response like this. Its disgusting. That nurses are still so petty and rude. I deal with enough attitudes in person. I don't need to deal with it on here. People get all these letters behind their name and forget that at one point they were where i am somewhere. Thank you senior moderator for offering some help.

Then you should know how asking for assistance here works (you also know that those responses are a dime a dozen). If you are asking for clarity, you need to say what it is about the particular subject that you are seeking to clarify. Just saying you don't understand the theory is not particularly helpful to those who may actually want to help you. The rest is nonsense and you need to calm down. That was quite the jump from asking for help to "all nurses are awful and petty and disgusting!" :speechless:

Please don't feel that way...it is so hard to know what the posters mean when we are just typing. Sadly...we have many who post for homework answers....which is why we want students to post what research has revealed to them. Our job is to help you become the best nurse you can be...if you find a post objectionable just click on the little yellow triangle and report the post and let us at admin take care of it.

Thank you. Like i said i been reading on her for years. I love this website. A place where you can ask nurses from all over opinions on anything. Sometimes we can interpret messages the wrong way.

Betty Neuman's nursing theory was part of my nursing program in 1982. My current Health system adopted this theory in 1990's. I STILL think of her theory writing care plans today for home health clients.

Fell free to contact me if I can help.
