Patricia Benner's Nursing Theory

llg, PhD, RN · Apr 6, 2009

I'm surprised that you are having trouble. What databases are you using? Are you searching professional journals? ... or just looking for internet sites that discuss her theory?

Benner's work is often used as the foundation for Staff Development Programs (e.g. orientation programs) and clinical ladders. Do a search of professional nursing literature that focus of those two aspects of practice and you are sure to find lots of articles.

I need to find examples of Benner's Theory used in clinical practice. I know alot of hospitals use it but I only found one hospital so far that has it documented and how they use it. I need a few more examples. I will try the nursing literature like u suggested. Thanks.

Why not go to Patricia Benner's website and talk to her or her staff about it? She does have a website. Do a http://www.google.com search for her.
