Understanding the Work of Nurse Theorists

A Creative Beginning

By: Kathleen Sitzman,Lisa Wright Eichelberger

This nursing theory text is designed for baccalaureate nursing students, and presents the difficult concepts of nursing theory and fifteen nursing theories through art. Unique to this text is the use of art as a teaching methodology-- a method that is consistent with Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, and more compatible to the nursing students' use of kinesthetic skill mastery, pattern recognition, artful observation, and naturalistic inquiry in mastering the discipline of nursing. This text makes nursing theory accessible, meaningful, and enjoyable to study. [Ed.]
