In a 3- to 5-page paper (not including cover page and references page), describe your personal philosophy of nursing practice, including explanations of:
• How your personal philosophy intersects with the four nursing domains: person, environment, health, and nursing
• How your personal philosophy aligns with Walden’s mission of social change
• How your personal philosophy aligns with the SDOH framework
• How at least two middle-range nursing theories support your personal philosophy of nursing practice (Be specific and provide examples.)
• How at least two interdisciplinary nursing theories support your personal philosophy of nursing practice (Be specific and provide examples.)
Note: You will learn about interdisciplinary theories in Week 3.
To Prepare
• Reflect on the current draft of your personal philosophy of nursing practice. Make any adjustments you think may improve it.
• Consider the ways in which your personal philosophy is informed by theory and research.
• Consider the middle-range theories you identified for the Discussion this week. How were they applicable (or not applicable) to your personal philosophy of nursing practice?
• Consider other middle-range theories and how they may be applicable to your personal philosophy of nursing practice.
• Think about how you will integrate middle-range theories to strengthen or deepen the ways in which nursing science informs your personal philosophy of nursing practice.
