Week 2 Project

This week you will turn in a draft of your “Personal Philosophy and Theoretical Concepts” paper. Your paper should contain the following sections:

• Nursing Autobiography: A brief (1 page) discussion of your background in nursing. This does not include future goals.
• The Four Metaparadigms:Describe what the literature says about the basic four metaparadigms/concepts of patient, nurse, health, and environment. Do not relate the metaparadigms to the theory you have chosen.
• Briefly describe the theory you have chosen.
• Two Practice-Specific Concepts:in separate subsections discuss each of your two concepts:What is the definition of the concept (outside of the theory)?How does your theorist define your concept?How does this concept apply to your clinical setting? Give an example of how nurses in your area provide care that correlates with the theorist’s definition of the concept.

You MUST use the attached template here to complete your paper.The paper is to be thoroughly researched and well documented, with relevant material from the nursing theorists presented incorporated into the paper. Use the current edition of the APA Manual throughout the paper. Sources should focus on references from nursing theory but may also include conceptual and theoretical material from other professional domains. The paper, excluding references or appendices, is to be limited to 3-5 pages. Writing should be succinct and well organized, as it is impossible for the facilitator to evaluate form and content separately.

I have attached the template to this document. I have 6 Years of experience in maternity ( labor and delivery/postpartu/NICU. and I want to be a family nurse practitioner in south Florida I want to help mainly children and women. please use the same temple as the first submission. and no references on Watsons theories.  

This is what my teacher wrote in regards of the first submission (which I have attached below):

Remember to change your theorist – you cannot have the same theorist as your group project

Remember the first and second page titles have to match exactly

You have to cite your theory every time you mention it, and use the theorist preferably in the citation 

Review the use of et al – you are not using it correctly much of the time

Remember you need a page number in a citation too for a direct word for word quote 

Read the paper carefully – I see a lot of typos and sentences that do not make sense

Add more citations to your definitions of metaparadigms

You cannot use the same concepts as the metaparadigms since you have already defined them previously in the paper.  

Review correct style for references in APA format – you are not always following it.
