Demonstrate the expected level of nursing care from all registered nurses, regardless of patient.

Demonstrate competent nursing care using critical thinking and the nursing process.

Describe the professional behaviors expected of competent nurses.

Caring and respecting patient dignity, the emotional side of nursing

Scientific knowledge base and characteristics of other scientific disciplines, leading to evidence-based practice.

Nursing research creates a body of knowledge needed for evidence-based practice and evaluating the impact of nursing care on patient outcomes.

Nursing's framework for practice, focusing on promoting health, preventing illness, facilitating healing, and alleviating suffering.

The diagnosis and treatment of human responses to health and illness across individuals, families, communities, and populations.

Nurses practice nursing, not medicine. Nurses focus on care, while physicians focus on disease.

A healthcare discipline using both art and science for care, prevention, and holistic responses.

A group of healthcare professionals with different expertise working together.

Nursing is an autonomous, independent, and scientific healthcare discipline.

Considering the whole person (physical, mental, social, and spiritual) when providing care.

A self-governing and independent healthcare discipline with its own standards and scope.

A set of concepts that explain nursing phenomena, their relationships, and predict outcomes. It's like a map guiding nursing practice.

The process of testing nursing theory through research to confirm or reject existing knowledge. It's like a lab experiment testing a hypothesis.

The scope and perspective of nursing, encompassing the subjects, concepts, values, and phenomena of interest to nursing. Think of it as the 'territory' of nursing.

A framework connecting the beliefs, theory, and assumptions of the nursing discipline. It's like the 'philosophy' of nursing.

Four core ideas in nursing: person, health, environment/situation, and nursing. These are the fundamental building blocks of nursing knowledge.

Nursing addresses human responses to health and illness, not just diseases. It encompasses individuals, families, communities, and populations.

While not a meta-paradigm concept, caring is central to nursing. It emphasizes that people, events, and things matter, implying a connection.

When a person seeks a registered nurse's help, caring is essential for achieving positive outcomes. This is the core of nursing's role.

Conducting research and contributing to new knowledge in a specific nursing field.

Using general principles to predict specific outcomes (top-down approach, quantitative).

Drawing general conclusions from specific observations (bottom-up approach, qualitative).

Knowledge gained from practical nursing experiences.

A method of reasoning that starts with specific observations and uses them to reach broader conclusions or general principles.

A method of reasoning that starts with a general principle and uses it to make specific predictions or draw conclusions.

Literature written by, for, and about nurses, nursing phenomena, or the nursing profession, and reported in nursing journals.

The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) database is the largest source of nursing literature.

Evidence that is accurate, trustworthy, and consistent. In research, this means the study was conducted well and the results are likely to be true.
