TASK 1 NEWWORD.C304- TASK 1
A. Identify a nursing theory that has influenced your values and goals.
A. I am a brand new nurse. I identified most with “From Novice to Expert” by
Patricia Ben- ner. This nursing theory is something that I hold close to my
heart because I am still learning and it helps keep me grounded in that I will
not know everything just because I went to nursing school. Experience is a
learning experience that makes me better at what I do and increases my
knowledge that I am constantly building on to be a better nurse. (Current
Nursing, 2011)
1. Explain how nurses apply the identified theory from part A to implement
excellent nursing practices.
1. Nurses are constantly learning and perfecting their skills and knowledge
base. This the- ory is applied in every nurses career day to day by
experiencing and learning from those experiences. (Current Nursing, 2011)
2. Discuss how the identified theory from part A fits your professional practice.
This theory fit my professional practice by setting a template for my growth
as I gain ex- periences and knowledge from those experience to move from a
novice nurse to a more experi- enced nurse up to an expert level by the end of my
career. I look forward to being able to teach what I have learned through my
experiences to other nurses. (Current Nursing, 2011)
B. Identify the contributions of two historical nursing figures in the nineteenth or
twentieth cen- tury.
Florence Nightingale- Environmental Theory
Patricia Benner- From Novice to Expert
1. Compare the differences in contributions of the two historical figures identified in
part B.
2. Florence Nightingale contributed to the nursing world by implementing
practices that in- fluenced the sanitation practices and environmental
aspects of care of the patient.
3. Patricia Benner contributed to the nursing world by designating the different
learning lev- els of a nurses career. She states that experience is the
prerequisite to being and ex- pert. (Current Nursing, 2011)
4. The differences of these contributions include one being to set a clean
environment with decreased harm to the patient while the other shows how
experience is a big factor in the career of a nurse. (Current Nursing, 2011)
2. Describe how the contributions of the two historical figures influence your
professional nurs- ing practice.
Currently being a novice Operating Room nurse, I use Florence Nightingale’s
theory of sanitation and decreased patient harm by adjusting the environment for
healing in the operating room. Also, I am a novice in the nursing development
levels of Benner’s theory. I feel I use both of these theories the most in my
everyday work. (Current Nursing, 2011)
, C. Explain the functional differences between the State Board of Nursing and
the American Nurses Association (ANA).
