Our Introduction to Nursing Theory course looks at how nursing theories relate to nursing practice and how they are applied. Learn about the history and development of nursing as a science, and study conceptual models, frameworks, patterns of knowing and selected nursing theories developed by Watson, Leininger and Benner. Consider phenomenological influences on theory development and their connection to patient-focused care.
