Roy Adaptation Model (RAM)
The Roy Adaptation Model (RAM) for Nursing originated with the lifelong work of Sister Callista Roy. The Adaptive Model is developed on the foundation that includes four primary components which are the person, health, environment, and nursing (Andrews & Roy, 1991).
This model teaches you to look beyond just the symptoms and look at the patients situation and life more holistically to determine a more comprehensive treatment plan.

Paterson and Zderad's humanistic theory
Paterson and Zderad's humanistic theory, seen as either a descriptive theory
(understanding the interaction among a set of variables; identify meaning and observations and describe what elements exist in that discipline) or metatheory
(theory derived to analyze theoretical systems or a theory about a theory (Wolf & Bailey, 2013).
This theory focuses on the communication between a nurse and a patient from a humanistic point-of-view. A nurses interpersonal skills and interaction with the patient can improve communication as well as the treatment. Nurses can share personal experiences with the patients to relate to them better for example.

There are clear philosophical connections between the core ideas of hermeneutics and those of historicism, because each posits a potentially radical degree of relativism. Rodgers & Knafl (2005) explore this, arguing not for a return to any radical empiricism but rather to acknowledge that while knowledge and certainly medical praxis is socially constructed (and constructed along lines of socially sanctioned power hierarchies), there are fundamental empirical elements to nursing that
Nursing Philosophy The author of this report is asked to offer three main points of discussion within this report. These three sections all related to nursing theory and they will be compared and contrasted to the personal philosophy of the author of this paper. The three points of discussion are the four meta-paradigms of nursing theory, two practice-specific concepts and a list of propositions that the author of this paper would
2) The four identified metaparadigms of nursing -- nurse, person, environment, and health -- reflect the current understanding of nursing practice as an integrated part of medical treatment and health enhancement. Though each concept is highly related to the others, each represents a different way of approaching and understanding issues in nursing. The nurse is understood as a medical practitioner, using verified empirical data in providing treatment options to the patient.
Nursing Philosophy We all have a philosophy -- whether related to our professional engagements or otherwise. Indeed, it is on the basis of our individual philosophies that we form the conduct of life. A nursing philosophy in the words of Reed (as cited in Masters 2014, p. 100) is essentially "a statement of foundational and universal assumptions, beliefs, and principles about the nature of truth and knowledge (epistemology) and about

They not only delivered the medical care that she needed, but they held her hand, hugged her, put lotion on her, made her feel that each day was another gift. She became very attached to two of the nurses and I believe they were the people who helped her accept her fate and enjoy the little time she still had left. As I grew up and encountered nurses at various
