Nightingale Model
Describe - choose something you learned from chapter 1-5- "What did I do, read, see, hear?
One concept that will be instrumental in my development is the nightingale model. This model provides insights into proper service to both clients and patients. Both of which will be needing in a changing health care landscape. Aspects such as the Affordable Care Act have provided expanding coverage to millions of Americans nationwide. As such, the need to provide individualized, premium service will be become paramount. Three aspects that I read about, that I believe, will be essential are:
Environment of patients
Need for keen observation
Focus on the whole patient rather than the disease
Reading these three concepts in particular provided insights into the supervision of nurses and the overall profession as it relates to a changing healthcare dynamic. The final concept of focusing on the patient rather than the disease is vital in regards to proper treatment and diagnosis. Reading about this concept within the context of the Nightingale Model, I believe, was very beneficial to me.

Learning new concepts and their subsequent applications is paramount to my
personal development. As such, the Nightingale Model provided further insights by which I can properly apply to the field. In addition, surprisingly, many of these concepts expand outside the physical realm of nursing. Aspects such as observation are critical in other fields outside of nursing.
I therefore believe that the proactive
nature, in which I exhibit in regards to learning, reinforces my overall interest within the
nursing professional. This also signifies that, I am committed to
learning new concepts, no matter how esoteric they may seem on the surface. Reading, particularly within the
medical field often has compounding affect on the individual. In other words, knowledge builds on itself and "compounds." This activity proved that I have an interest in the medical field, and that through the use of compounded knowledge, I can apply is many facets of my life.
