  9. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    No, not really. The hard and fast truth is that I am going to school because the jobs I want as a nurse require a MSN. It's really that simple. Nursing students can learn from me saying this because...

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    It's really not a "passion" Renee but simply a byproduct of going to school!! I am forced to take Nursing Theory and Nursing Philosophy; am forced to write a paper on what I define my philosophy is;...

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    It wasn't really a competition, Renee. It was just a discussion about the usefulness of Watson's theory, and perhaps about having any theory of nursing at all, and about the reasoning behind nursing...

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I am having a DOH moment, but I couldn't follow you Renee. I don't think you can compare motherhood to a professional nurse, and even if there are similarities, I'm not sure I want them...

  15. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Renee, I agree with and understand everything you are writing, but in all reality, if nursing is to be recognized as a profession, we need to have some type of identity that is more meaurable than...

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Ha Renee, very funny! With the way Watson is emphasized in the literature, you would think that someone really COULDN'T be a nurse without

    First of all, I read James Huffman's article 2 times. It was embarassing. I am bringing that article to class on Thursday night to challenge my professor. THIS professor fits the "cult...

  19. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Good point. So why DO we have an identity crisis? I guess maybe I should take a gander at medicine's philosophy and look at how we can adapt it to nursing. I also think nursing tries to separate...

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

  22. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    I agree, except there are things nurses do that aren't measurable; ethics for one, caring the other. Also, it seems that nursing borrows alot of it's theories from other disciplines; why is that? I...

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Brandy, I hear your common sense thing; but I think one of the reasons nursing fumbles as a profession is that we can't define it, really. I mean, most people identify a nurse as what she DOES, as in...
