Nursing curriculum at Liberty University This presentation will address the impact of nursing theories and ways that theories and models of care translate into the daily lives of nurses and patients the novice to expert theory by Dr Banner will be addressed to encourage each student in their new role and we will conclude with the university's model of love and care for all of those in our sphere of influence thank you for being here and we trust this academic journey will be a wonderful experience there are many excellent theories in the history of nursing predecessors the work of these pioneers can easily be dismissed as a required curriculum yet in a pleasurable information unlike the concrete nature of physics in anatomy a brief review of nursing theories demonstrates that the thoughts and ideas change doesn't mean that one disproves the other or did therefore unreliable do even need to study theory the answer to that final question must be yes theories define the current state of nursing based on differences in items such as Time Place culture expectations and beliefs Regina Henderson an important contributor to our profession think that concept well theories change with the development of our profession those updates provide an ongoing basis for how we model care to our patients. For nursing theory to your reality time place and culture.

Many nurses come into the program as an expert in their field upon becoming a student that creates a shift towards novice did in new tasks experiences assignments and roles we recognize that this can be frustrating and encourage the use of this theory to refocus and motivate each student towards their academic go does communication play or role in movement on the scale Absolutely it does there is define the language in which nursing here is spoken by converting theory into models of nursing care it is helpful to view the process in this manner nurses assess plan and implement the actions needed to enhance healing and wellness in their client. Most nurses have a concrete idea of what that process should look like in daily routines intended to communicate concern and compassion for those in their sphere of influence theory is the underlying structure of which those routines are grounded but what might the patient see from their perspective as we think outside the box of formal nurse patient relationships how might culture beliefs economics and traditions impact what nurses actually display what do our actions words and behaviors communicate to the patient what guilders are present that impact our intended communication is received considered this patient's view there is a language barrier behind her husband English just poorly understood. But there is only a small part of the problem male nurses into her space religiously unclean food is served on her tray and her body is not clothed in that which is appropriate for her age and marital status a nurse takes the time to ask and the patient's daughter shares the concerns and issues present changes are made and the patient is now able to focus on recovery what does the family see Model about the nurse I would suggest that they see a model of cultural sensitivity an openness to learning and repairing the relationship theory allowed for a few loose change of practice yet still within the science and nursing that practice also moves the nurse from being a novice and culture towards more proficient How about this patient the high tech emergency room buzzes with activity every life day we advantage within arm's reach but this baby is strangely quiet the patient is waving life saving nature's periphery just spend his last minutes in prayer with his closest family members the nurses are amazed a few units of blood in this patient could enjoy more days weeks possibly years of life but those measures were refused and the nurses respect his decision blankets tissues a lack of intrusion and drawn curtains create the desired privacy for final goodbye the patient his family see a model of respect and dignity from the nursing staff they are grateful for those less minutes together and the nurses learn to properly model nonverbal communication. This patient lies in simple traction in the foreground ward there is no sink or told that in this room only a few plastic chairs for guests this international government hospital allows them a bad ice sheet and a pillow the family scrambles to collect money for the hardware to fix the mother ship any medicines food or personal needs are brought in by the family where are the nurses the few present on the ward seen in active an uncaring there's some paperwork tasks some conversations shared but to the observer the nurses are not caring for the sick in the private hospital down the road there would be outrage but here in 3rd world conditions the poor are thankful for the bad and hopeful that surgery will soon be offered they know that the nurses have received no pay for weeks beyond meals provided by the camp or Terria although trained they have no resources to provide the services what do we see communicated here I would suggest that is acceptance and survival living within the options and means that they find familiar they are grateful for whatever is provided we are novice nurses in their reality we share Sunday lunches a family relates the patient in protective isolation for 24 years this family has shared lunch and time together over the Sunday noon meal on this Saturday night the nurse hears the end spoken request arrangements are made for webcams to allow the patient to eat her meal in the virtual presence of her family strategically placed one floor away in the hospital cafeteria bright eyes animated chatter and laughter over the hospital food are observed on the nurse vital signs are improved in taking creases and chronic pain abate during this cherished time. This is the work of an expert nurse the patient sees a hospital organization in a nurse who communicates beyond usual boundaries a holistic approach meets her needs without risk to her. This is theory in action shifting the basics of nursing care into a fluid process to meet patients at their level of need within the science of our profession and she began this journey towards a baccalaureate in. Liberty back when he wants to teach nurture support uplift in prayer and the resources needed for the journey we will watch you move back up that scale toward expert care and increase knowledge. Such deep compassion was displayed by Jesus for the sick and hurting reflective so many times in his earthly ministry we can follow his example and his hands and. In Matthew we read that Jesus had just received the news of John the Baptist's beheading and he withdrew ship for some time. Yet even in his moments of sorrow Jesus put aside his own needs and. Reached out to others and minister to them the blind beggar the lame friend the bleeding woman the roadside victim Jesus cross those cultural and belief based very years. Physical healing and living water Jesus met people in their time of distress and serve them that model caring and compassion is our gold standard theory which we teach in practice. We must also care for each other do you ever feel that your bucket is in deep and that you are unable to care for others anymore are your resources spent she says understood that often moving away from the crowds intern olive groves or gardens and spending time in prayer with his father in the busy schedule of life and. Please do not lose focus of the importance of that quiet time alone with their recharging and refilling it is the model of nursing to care for our clients and each other here at L. you thank you for choosing liberty to meet your educational needs and for allowing us to share your passion of modeling godly professional nursing to the clients in your care we wish you the very best the Liberty University nursing department.
