. W3 Discussion Forum: Nursing Theorists and their Contribution to Nursing Practice
Nightingale, Henderson, King, and Peplau provide us with theories that were well ahead of their times, yet these theories hold relevance to nursing today. Conceptual frameworks define nursing practice and they continue to inform contemporary nursing theorists. Because theorists have been so influential to nursing practice, it is imperative that we look closely at the relevance of their ideas to nursing practice today. Consider, as you reflect on the readings, how these theories inform you as you develop your role as a nursing leader.
1. Select theories of either Nightingale and Henderson or King and Peplau. Compare and contrast two primary elements of each selected pair of theories.
2. Provide examples of how the selected pair of theories may relate to your practice.
3. Analyze how your selected pair links nursing theory and spiritual care when planning interventions and suggesting resources for patient care.
4. Read each of your colleagues postings.
5. Respond to your colleagues following the criteria found in the MSN Academic Information and Policies section of the MSN Handbook. The grading rubric defining criteria for a 5-point post versus a 1-point post is also located in the same section of the MSN Handbook, as well as in Appendix A in the course files. (NOTE: If you did not receive a feedback post by Day 6 at 11:59 pm CST and are unable to post a response post, you may submit another feedback post to a peer so that you have a total of at least 3 posts in each discussion.)
Initial Post due Day 3. Feedback Post due Day 6. Response Post due Day 7.

5 pts
5 Points (Exemplary) Discussion postings and responses must meet the requirements of the online discussion criteria. Discussion postings and responses significantly contribute to the quality of interaction by providing rich and relevant examples, applicable research support, discerning ideas, and/or stimulating thoughts/probes, and are respectful when offering suggestions, constructive feedback, or opposing viewpoints. Discussion postings and responses demonstrate an in-depth understanding of concepts and issues presented in the course, (e. g., insightful interpretations or analyses, accurate and perceptive parallels, and well-supported opinions), and are well supported, when appropriate, by pertinent research. Discussion postings and responses provide evidence that the student has read and considered a sampling of colleagues’ postings and synthesized key comments and ideas, as applicable.

Upon completion of this module, the learner will be able to:
1. Analyze the theories of two different nursing theorists.
2. Compare and contrast two primary elements of each selected theorist.
3. Discuss how the selected pair links nursing theory, spirituality, and nursing care.

THE PAPER TO BE WRITTENS
Final Paper is due Week 4, Day 1.
In this assignment, you are to select a theory of nursing that fits with your understanding of effective nursing values and practices. Prepare a thorough review of the theory, including a discussion of how this theory, will guide your planning to implement the theory in your work as a nurse, will inform your anticipation of barriers to implementation and will assist you in creating a plan to evaluate the effectiveness of care provided while employing this theory.
Use the following process to guide your work:
1. Select one nursing theory that is useful to your practice setting.
2. Research the literature for refereed journal articles (include current, classic by theorist, and relevant scholarly sources) that discuss the use of the theory in practice. Use a sufficient number of scholarly sources in your paper, but at least five.
3. Critically review the nursing theory and develop a plan for how you would utilize this theory in your practice. Be sure to include thoughts related to holistic spiritual nursing care. (Use Chapter 3 of Smith & Parker to review theory.)
4. In a 6-8 page (not including the title and reference pages, no abstract required for this paper) 6th edition APA paper using spelling/grammar following APA guidelines:

o Introduction (overview, purpose, your rationale for selecting the nursing theory, and plan for paper)
o Synthesis of selected nursing theory
o Examine the nursing theorys components
o Design plan for implementing nursing theory into practice
o Anticipate potential barriers/challenges to implementation
o Create plan for evaluating the effectiveness of care provided using this nursing theory
o Construct examples
o Conclusion (explain how you have met the purpose of this paper)
Draft #1 Paper:
Due Date; prior to Final Paper (best practice calls for submitting by W3, D5 to give time for revision)
o Allow time to obtain Match Score (sometimes up to 3-4 hours), in order to revise your paper to avoid inadvertent plagiarism.
o Remember to avoid plagiarism when paraphrasing, you must change both the words and the sentence structure.
o Remember, use of quotations is minimal in scholarly writing for graduate school.
Final Paper
Due Date: Week 4, Day 1
Note: the Final Draft/Paper will be submitted with Turnitin enabled.
Note:
The Turnitin draft links are for you to use when you are ready. There is no due date for draft submissions. The links may be used anytime before the final copy of the paper is due. Submit your first draft and check for flagged areas on the Turnitin report. Areas that are flagged/highlighted may indicate that there is a need to reword, paraphrase, add a citation, create a quotation, etc. It is very important that you avoid plagiarism/self-plagiarism, so be sure to thoroughly review the Turnitin report. Your similarity score should be below 25%, but your instructor will evaluate the report, not just the score. You cannot rely on the similarity score to ensure that you have not plagiarized. If you are satisfied that there are no areas that need to be changed, you do not need to submit a second draft. The final copy of your paper must be submitted on or before Day 1 of Week 4.
