    is nursing theory important to nursing practice

    Music in My Heart replied to precious nikz's topic in General Nursing

    Can you provide an example of how care would be different for a specific patient if one were to have no knowledge of (pick your grand theory)? Well, I don't know how much is enough but we had a...

    is nursing theory important to nursing practice

    Music in My Heart replied to precious nikz's topic in General Nursing

    While essentially agree with the foundations of Benner's theory, I don't see how it's of any particular use. The same goes for the theories of Roy and Orem... they basically make sense but I don't...

    is nursing theory important to nursing practice

    Music in My Heart replied to precious nikz's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't acquire the value of caring from Jean Watson or some other theorist in nursing school, I acquired it from my parents - neither of them

    is nursing theory important to nursing practice

    Music in My Heart replied to precious nikz's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I do but my framework is much more practical: Did I perform all assessments and interventions on a timely basis and in a complete, accurate, and respectful manner? Did I minimize my patients'...

    is nursing theory important to nursing practice

    Music in My Heart replied to precious nikz's topic in General Nursing

    From what I can see, nursing theory is of little practical use at the bedside. I believe that one can be an excellent nurse while having zero knowledge of the varied nursing theories out there. As...

    You will NEVER believe this guys...discrimination???

    Music in My Heart replied to rbs105's topic in Male Nursing Students

    What does he do? He sucks it up and keeps his mouth shut and lets it go. How does he let it go? Just the same way that we let pass all other manner of disrespectful or inappropriate behavior... we...

    New member here, "any advice would suffice!"

    Music in My Heart replied to youdontknowme10001's topic in General Students

    I don't know this with certainty but I'd guess that it's even a little harder to get in if you've already been disenrolled from another program. If you've applied to all the public schools and haven't...

    Ugh, my insomnia is killing me

    Music in My Heart replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Students

    Wow, that is brutal... I really feel for you.A few things you may have already tried: 1) Keep a journal by the bed -- any worries or thoughts that pop into your head, write 'em down and tell yourself...

    Perspective? A regular paycheck with your name on it. That's all the perspective I need at this

    Music in My Heart replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    Find out the textbook being used and get a copy right now -- even if it's an older edition (which can be found very cheap via Amazon or eBay (aka Half)). Two books that I highly recommend in addition:...

    Did you ever think "Can I really do this"

    Music in My Heart replied to Tonyapate's topic in General Nursing

    To your question - no, I've never thought that. I have a lot of self-confidence and certainty that I can do whatever it is that I set my mind to -- if I work hard enough and long enough. I believe...

    What degree is best for a new nursing student? CNL, BSN or RN?

    Music in My Heart replied to jdb156's topic in General Nursing

    I chose the MSN/CNL route myself. Personally, I think the "L" is a misnomer... the CNL curriculum seems more along the lines of a systems analyst rather than leadership per se. I think the training is...

    Who Benefits More?

    Music in My Heart replied to Superlost1984's topic in General Nursing

    I choose #3. Being married has nothing to do with the question unless you assume (a big no-no for NCLEX questions) that marriage is some sort of condition for sexual activity. I choose the youngest...

    Should students be penalized due to Instructors Mistake ?

    Music in My Heart replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I think this thread subject was mislabeled. It should be, "Should students benefit due to instructor's mistake?" since that's what the OP is addressing... nobody's being penalized... they're whining...

    Top interview ways to NOT get the job (New Grad RN)

    Music in My Heart replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say, "I don't delegate as much as I should..."; instead I'd say something like, "It's sometimes hard for me to delegate...". It's a little gentler on the self-criticism. And for whatever...

    Another easy way to kill an interview: Try to crack jokes. You may think it's funny but you may be revealing negative characteristics to the interviewer or simply touching a sensitive place for

    Top interview ways to NOT get the job (New Grad RN)

    Music in My Heart replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in General Nursing

    Easy way to kill an interview: Interrupt the interviewer. I'm continually amazed at how frequently people interrupt and talk over others. Another easy way: Argue - at all - with the interviewer. The...

    Music in My Heart replied to RMCS's topic in General Nursing

    Another thought: If you're using a pendant, have the umbilical be retractable so as to minimize the amount of cable that's laying on the bed (or dangling next to it... or even dragging on the

    Music in My Heart replied to RMCS's topic in General Nursing

    Regarding the pendant or controls: It would be great if you could make them flat, with no nooks, crannies, and crevices in which germs can hang out. I'm thinking covered membrane switches instead of...
