Nursing
Definition: Nursing is the protection,
promotion & optimization of health &
abilities,prevention of illness & injury,
alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis
and treatment of human response, & advocacy in
the care
of individuals, families, communities &
populations (ANA, 2014)
Focus: Provision of quality care, advocacy &
protection of patient rights, empowering patients to
be autonomous, BSN nurses have additional
responsibility of leadership
Theory: Purpose of nursing theories in education
are to provide general focus for curriculum design &
guide curricular decision making. Nursing theory
aims to
describe, predict & explain the phenomenon of
nursing; it should provide the foundations of
nursing practice, help to generate further
knowledge & indicate in which direction
nursing should develop in the future.

Education
Education theory is the theory of the purpose,
application and interpretation of education and
learning. It is largely an umbrella term, being
comprised of a number of theories, rather than a single
explanation of how we learn and how we should teach.
Rather, it is affected by several factors, including
theoretical perspective and epistemological position.
There is no one, clear, universal explanation of how we
learn and subsequent guidebook as to how we should
teach. Rather, there are a range of theories, each with
their background in a different psychological and
epistemological tradition. To understand learning then,
we have to understand the theories, and the rationale
behind them.

Nursing Education

Integration of theory into nursing education allows


baccalaureate nurse educators to more effectively
disseminate knowledge to students by using a set of
Constructivism & Humanism - Use collaboration to
known principles to guide the learning process. These
build skills in critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and
compatible theories and frameworks provide a vehicle to
communication. Students are encouraged in self-direction
teach the wide-ranging skills that BSN students must
and independence. Learners use experiences to build a
master to become leaders in the world of professional
foundation of knowledge.

Dr. Kolbs Theory (framework)


Learning is a continuous process and knowledge
is created by transforming experience into
existing cognitive frameworks thus changing the
way a person thinks and behaves. Dr. Kolbs
theory is significant in critical thinking
integration, in simulation learning, and in nursing
practice.
