What is "Nursing Theory/Model"?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hello,

I am looking into nursing. I keep hearing about the "Nursing Model" and "Nursing Theory." What is it? How is it different than the "medical model?"

Also, I've heard some nursing students, as well as employed nurses criticize nursing theory and the model. I've never really gotten an answer that I understand.

Can anyone out there explain what the nursing theory/model is, and especially how they specifically use it in their practice.

Thanks!

Based on my own values, beliefs, knowledge base, etc. I approach nursing.

So that's your theory, eh?
