How your understanding of the art of nursing shapes your
practice
As nurses, we help patients to adapt to change to their health
by applying the art of nursing.Unlike scientific explanations, the
art of nursing does not require a scientific explanation but deals
with how experiences feel and what they mean (Robinson, 2014).The
values and principles that I carry related to the art of nursing,
allows me to be inspirational and compassionate while focusing on a
quality level of care.
How your understanding of the science of nursing shapes your
practice
The theory related to the science of nursing is the examination
of laws, theories, and the concept of nursing.In order for me to
practice safe nursing, I have to be knowledgeable of the science of
nursing and actively include it in my nursing practice.My practice
will be based on data that has been gathered and proven thru
scientific trials from research that was developed from disease
related situations.
