    Empirical knowing or knowledge is simply the science of nursing (Hunter, 2008). Empirical knowledge in nursing literature had a late start having only been around since the 1950’s. Since then, there has been an increasing importance placed on the development of a body of empirical knowledge on nursing. With empirical knowing, science of nursing can be categorized into general law and theories (Carper, 1978). The pattern on knowing labeled as “nursing science” does not reflect the same characteristics as the more advanced sciences. Nursing attempts to assess knowledge, question its validity and take the information and incorporate it into specific situations. This can be expressed in facts, specific concept or theory which can be used to predict specific outcomes. Currently, in the development of nursing science, new concepts and experiences continue to occur in health and illness with regards to human life. These new concepts and experiences in the nursing sciences should be seen as breakthroughs in nursing. Carper expresses the need for nursing to expand empirical…

    At present, the developmental role for the Associates level RN is clinically oriented (Saccomono & Pinto-Zip 2011). The educational requirements are related specifically to the clinical setting. For example; Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, Pharmacology and related math’s, but it lacks specific leadership teachings. Unfortunately Associate level RNs find themselves poorly prepared to delegate or preform in supervisory roles. Even as nursing students, we are taught how to assess patients, monitor vital signs, and administer intramuscular and intravascular medications. We are told that we are supervisors to LPNs and Certified Nurse Assistants (CNA) yet the program lacks classes specifically designated to leadership and delegation. Even in the clinical setting while we are putting all of our classroom knowledge to the test, the clinical setting is about developing bedside nursing and assessment skills. As a result, staff nurses are often thrust into managerial positions but have…

    A nursing administrator needs to have effective communication skills and the ability to maintain and develop relationships not only with his/her peers but also with the community (American Organization of Nurse Executives, 2005). As a person in a managerial position, the nursing administrator must have the ability to reach out to different groups of people of a variety of backgrounds (American Organization of Nurse Executives, 2005). Community involvement is part of this core competency as well as the medical staff relationships and academic relationships (American Organization of Nurse Executives, 2005).…

    Nursing, is a profession that I have long admired and considered to be one of the most gratifying positions that a person can hold due to the ability to positively affect so many people’s lives. This also comes with a huge responsibility to constantly be aware and monitor one’s own emotional state while adjusting to each patients needs and maintaining a high level of professionalism. When looking at the two areas of professionalism and emotional intelligence I believe that they are absolutely essential to the development of a well rounded nurse. Emotional intelligence is defined as nurses who have insight and an understanding of their own and others emotions and behavior (Watson-Druee, 2012). Professionalism has long been the topic of conversation among health professionals due to its meaning and how different people interpret it. Professionalism in its most basic understanding is; attaining the highest quality of care by maintaining standards and demonstrating good judgment and competence at all times (Hughes, 2012). When considering these areas I have come to understand and define them in my own way; I’ve also been able to interview another healthcare professional and get their insight into these issues.…

    A leader is a person who has a vision (Owen, 2002). A leader has drive and is committed to achieving their goals and vision. Leaders focus their attention on problems that need to be fixed, and will tackle the situation at hand. Leaders are determined, motivated, careful planners and effective communicators. Leaders are positive and do not waste time and effort with negativity. Effective communication is more than just being able to speak and write. An effective leader's communication encourages people to work toward their goals. A leader is motivated and motivates everyone to contribute to the organization (Owen, 2002). All of these attributes are what I considered when choosing a Leader to interview. I have chosen to interview G.O. who currently works as a Director of Nursing, and has an extensive background in management. G.O. is someone I consider a strong Leader and mentor and is very positive and genuinely enjoys her job.…
