Personal Nursing philosophy and personal central concept

Step I: Mind MAP

Create a mind map, with the central topic of “My professional Nursing Philosophy”.

1. 1. The mind map can be created with software or on an 8 1/2 by 11 paper sheet.
   2. Be as creative as you wish

Step II: Nursing Theorist

1. 1. Research and select a Nursing Theorist that contains some of the same concepts found from your Personal Philosophy or one that resonates with you.
   2. May use Theorists from Required Books (APA citation of book with page numbers required) or research a Nursing Journal (APA citation required for Paper).

Step 2: Personal Theory Analysis (3-5 Pages excluding Title page and Reference)

1. 1. Use your mind map as a reference for your paper and describe your personal philosophy.
   2. What are the main central concepts identified in your personal philosophy?
   3. Do the central concepts of your Philosophy align with the Metaparadigm of nursing Theories? Explain differences, and similarities.
   4. Choose one nursing theorist, you feel aligns with your personal theory, how are they relatable? What resonates, and why? (The theorist does not have to be an exact match or can be one the resonates with you, and how you practice.)
   5. Indicate how can you utilize your personal philosophy as a framework for your nursing career, as a graduate students student provide practical realistic ways.
