Students will develop a personal philosophical statement, create a mind map, and select a nursing theorist/theory that is compatible with their individual nursing practice. Students will write a 3-4 page scholarly paper that includes: a) how their personal philosophical statement is compatible with their one chosen theory; b) how they envision using their selected theory/philosophical statement in their individual nursing practice to improve patient outcomes, via a patient case study. The self-created theory mind map will be attached to this assignment, along with APA style references and a title page (these three elements are not counted toward the paper page limit).
