Nursing History, Theories and Conceptual Model
The three trends in nursing practice that become evident to me from viewing the Nuring Timeline of Historical Events are: first, the rise of formal education and training for nurses—especially in the latter half of the 20th century when more and more doctors were leaving primary care for special practice and APRNs were being trained to fill the gap in primary care (O’Brien, 2003). Second, there is the rise of advocacy in terms of improving the quality of care provided to patients. This resulted in a push for the application of more evidence-based practice (EBP). In my own perspective on Nursing Practice, I view this focus on EBP as one of the most important developments in the history of nursing, as it ensures that patients are receiving care that is based on scientific and empirical proof rather than just on whatever one feels might work best. Third, there is the establishment of different levels of nursing, with specific roles defined. This trend really helps to make the process of nursing more exact and precise, which is good for the patient. It also mirrors that trend towards specialization that so many doctors began to show in the 20th century (AANP, 2017).

This definition addresses the metaparadigm theories of nursing in the sense that it provides a total framework for what nursing should achieve. I believe that various theories find support in this framework—from preventive care nursing to transcultural nursing to holistic approaches, various middle-range and borrowed theories and more, which facilitates the expansion of nursing overall, as the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (2015) has noted.

Nursing Theorist: Sr. Roy Adaptation Model The Roy Adaptation model for Nursing had its beginning when Sister Callista Roy happened to get admitted in the Masters Program of pediatric nursing in the University of California, Los Angeles, in the year 1964. At that time, Sr. Callista was familiar with the idea of 'adaptation' in nursing, and it must be mentioned that Sr. Callista's adviser at that time was Dorothy E. Johnson,
