摘要:

Concept analysis allows us to examine the attributes and characteristics of a concept. The concept of decision making is central to the practice of nursing. Decision making occurs at all levels of human thought and action, so it has been explored in many disciplines. It is important to explore this concept from the perspective of the discipline of nursing, so that we can determine how definitions and theories apply to our practice. Investigating a concept adopted from other disciplines will eventually provide the profession with a basis for knowledge development.

摘要:

The concept of “nurse as healer” is in itself vague and illusive. It is, however, a concept that is beginning to emerge in practice and in the literature. To begin to develop an understanding of “nurse as healer”, the following questions are addressed: Are nurses identified as healers in the nursing literature? In today's world of nursing practice, do nurses consider themselves to be healers? What healing practices do nurses en

摘要:

Learning disabilities can be devastating for the nursing student, interfering with academic performance and with success on the NCLEX‐RN. Within the past five to ten years, college educators are seeing an increasing number of students with learning disabilities diagnosed in the 1970s, who are now ready for higher education. This phenomenon is becoming apparent as well in schools of nursing in the United States. This article describes the problem, gives characteristics by which the student with a learning disability can be identified, and suggests methods for assisting the student to achieve success in school and on the national licensing examination following graduatio

摘要:

Just as the horrors of World War I were winding down, millions of people were stricken by an influenza epidemic that displaced war as the tragic focus of everyday life. The disease was known as the Spanish influenza and was pandemic in scope. Since the epidemic defied the capabilities of prevailing medicine, good nursing care was the best predictor of outcome. Nurses came to the rescue by working long, hard and tirelessly. One important outcome of the epidemic was a general recognition of the visiting nurse service and all nursing as a valuable and essential community service.

摘要:

Nursing is multidimensional, interactive, interdisciplinary, and complex. Almost anything that can be said about nursing can be said another way. Some things worth being said and heard will not follow the norms of journal presentation. A forum accommodates the emerging voice, the new format, the innovative approach. Nursing Forum, in an effort to honor the “independent voice” in nursing, presents here the voice who elects to enter the dialogue, but who does so “in another

摘要:

To spark productive and continuing dialogue, good conversation needs to end with a light touch, yet one that whets the appetite for more. Nursing Forum honors this dictum by giving “The Last Word” for this issue to Ms. R. Kane, a registered nurse at a small, unnamed hospital in an obscure community. Ms. Kane has been troubled for some time by nursing theories that either elude her comprehension or ignore salient realities. She has elected to address this problem by developing a collection of mid‐range theories she believes will improve this situ
