recently a co-worker was fired at a Michigan hospital for a HIPPA violation. Will she lose her license or any ramifications with the board of nursing?

Interesting responses! If, as llg says her theory " relies on complex philosophical ideas. That makes it even more difficult to relate to by people not used to reading philopshy".Is it the model for the masses at our 450 bed private hospital? We are a Magnet hospital that is fed by a local college's ADN program(new hiring criteria states that all new ADN hires must be BSN within 10 yrs of hire). Im just having trouble seeing it put to use when you've got your phone ringing, lights going off, co-workers interupting etc.

Curious, Our hospital has adopted Jean Watson as our theorist. I find her theory to be a bit "out there" for me. I understand being focused on the patient as you care for them but find the rest of it a bit over the top. I'd like to hear from all of you out there what you think the strengths(or weaknesses) of her theory are! Also do you think that her model is too "soft'? Is it really conducive to the acute care setting? For me I can see where it might work in long term care or even an office setting, but acute care? How?

Help! I am doing a group project about Jean Watson's Theory. My portion is to present the strengths and limitations of the the theory as well as demonstrating new insights about the model(huh?). As far as limitations I can see that it might not be conductive to tense situations , unconscious patients, the reality of caring for many patients sat once and interruptions like: phones, pagers, coworkers. The strenghts I see as; more fullfilling for the nurse and making the patient feel like they are your only concern. I really dont undersatnd what would be new insight about the model and definetly dont have enough limitation and strengths. Any insights anyone could give would be appreciatted!
