To prepare:

Reflect on the current draft of your philosophy of nursing practice and how, or in what ways, your philosophy is grounded in science.

Pay particular attention to the middle range theories you explore in the Week 2 Discussion and how these theories relate to the practice issue you identify.

Consider how to integrate applications of nursing middle range theories (from the Week 2 Discussion or others) into your philosophy statement to strengthen or deepen how nursing science informs or guides your philosophy of nursing practice.

The Assignment (3–5 pages)

Continue to develop your written philosophy of nursing practice by identifying at least two middle range nursing theories that apply to your nursing practice and explaining how each theory supports your philosophy. Include at least two scholarly resources for this element of your philosophy.
