This caring paradigm goes far beyond any one individual nurse and produces acts of caring that transcend any one theory and become associated with a greater good -- holism and non-judgmental care (Watson, 1989, 32).
Ethics- the power of Watson is that she does not see humans in a vacuum, but as the compilation of many different experiences that work to enrich and enliven their lives, but that cannot ever be known by the nurse unless the nurse is open to non-verbal communication. Too, transpersonal caring is the idea that the patient takes responsibility for their own health and works in conjunction with the nurse to achieve the best health outcome possible. (Watson, 1989, 70). This is a very Zen way of looking at healthcare -- the harmony between mind, body and soul -- with disease as disharmony -- but with a very real desire to change that experience into the positive. Indeed, integral to Watson's theory are ten carative factors that serve as "a framework for providing a structure and order for nursing phenomena" (Watson J., the Theory of Human Caring, 1997). This also focuses on the manner in which professional value systems integrate theory into practice by focusing on the ethical and moral relationship with the client.
Values -- Watson's theory includes 10 carative factors that, when taken both individually and in total, show us how nursing theory translates into nursing values on a day-to-day practice level:
1) Humanistic-altruistic system of values; 2) Faith-hope; 3) Sensitivity to self...
Watson thinks that the nursing profession must separate itself from the old fashioned, traditional medical paradigm (the germ theory) and move towards a human holism program. Watson realizes that her theory is never finished, but a complete work in progress and "invites participants to co-create the co-create the model's further emergence" (Watson, Human Caring, 1997). Everything, to Watson, from human nature to medical theory continues to evolve in an unending process (Watson, 1989). It is the power of integration with Watson that allows theory to have a meaningful and relevant purpose when dealing with ethics, morals, values, and professional standards within the healthcare environment.

What is the current level of autonomy among NPs? How independent are nurse practitioners? It is well-known that NPs desire and deserve autonomy -- which gives NPs "substantial control over [their] professional practice" (Bahadori, et al., 2009, p. 513). The research conducted by Bahadori and colleagues shows that of 48 primary care NPs (all of whom attended a state clinical conference in Florida and completed a detailed questionnaire with 30 items
The findings in this study suggest that understanding collective learning processes contributes to knowledge about technology adoption and organizational innovation, an area of research that has been conducted almost exclusively using an organization-level lens. Our study suggests an important role for a group-Level lens, with attention to how interdependent team members view a technology and the nature of the challenge it presents. How a technology is framed can make the
I also feel that nurses should maintain impartiality through the build up of procedures, supervising benefits and the sustenance of source distribution to guarantee the fulfillment of the client requests (Cooper, 1991). Confidentiality also believe that a nurse should be able to handle situations where the data of a client conflicts with the greater good that could be achieved with the publication of that particular info and when it is
115). It seems many nurses or RN who prepare for the role of nurse practitioner are not fully informed of the demands that may be placed on them in their new role. This in turn may lead to job dissatisfaction later down the line and ultimately limit ones ability to succeed in their chosen field. Presently there is not enough research provided to provide conclusive evidence one way or another

Personal Philosophy of Nursing Nursing theory My personal philosophy of nursing One nursing theory which resonates with me and has influenced my personal philosophy of nursing is that of Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model. Pender's concept of nursing is linked to patient self-empowerment and the need for the nurse to work closely with the patient to optimize the patient's state of health. The model defines health as "a positive dynamic state not merely
