Material Detail

As a nurse practicing in the emergency department, my experiences differ significantly from those of a public health nurse; consequently, my definition of a nurse and the forms of knowledge that I utilize in my practice will also differ. However, given that our professional licensure, education, and scope of practice are the same, the implication is that there should be common elements between our identities and knowledge bases. It is these common elements which nurse theorists strive to elucidate and articulate into a functional, comprehensive conceptualization of nursing. Having reviewed scholarly literature and reflected on my experiences as a practicing nurse, I have developed a personal understanding of being and knowing as a nurse, and a sense of my role in the future advancement of the nursing knowledge base, all of which I will discuss in this paper.
