Engaging Racial Autoethnography As A Teaching Tool For Womanist Inquiry, Janette Taylor, Melissa Lehan Mackin, A. Oldenburg
Engaging Racial Autoethnography As A Teaching Tool For Womanist Inquiry, Janette Taylor, Melissa Lehan Mackin, A. Oldenburg
Melissa Lehan Mackin
Racial autobiography, self-narratives on how one learned about the idea of race, has been underutilized as a tool to familiarize and orient students in the process of critical inquiry for nursing research. The aims of this article are to explore how racial autoethnography: (1) repositions students to effect an epistemological change, (2) challenges dominant ideology, and (3) functions as a link between the student and critical theories for use in nursing research. Students engage in and share reflective narrative about a variety of instructional materials used in the course. Reflective narratives are presented in a framework that addresses white racial …
Reconceptualizing The Core Of Nurse Practitioner Education And Practice, M. Burman, A. Hart, Virginia Conley, J. Brown, P. Sherard, P. Clarke
Reconceptualizing The Core Of Nurse Practitioner Education And Practice, M. Burman, A. Hart, Virginia Conley, J. Brown, P. Sherard, P. Clarke
Virginia M. Conley
PURPOSE: The movement to the doctor of nursing practice (DNP) is progressing rapidly with new programs emerging and curricular documents being developed. We argue that the implementation of the DNP is a good move for nursing, provided that we use the opportunity to reconceptualize the core of advanced practice nursing, especially nurse practitioner (NP) practice. DATA SOURCES: Theory and research articles from nursing focused on advanced practice nursing, NPs, and doctoral education. CONCLUSIONS: The foundation of NP education is currently based essentially on borrowed or shared content in assessment, pharmacology, and pathophysiology. We argue that the heart and soul of …

The results of this study are shared in an article of 2 parts. Part I, which was published in the previous issue of this journal, discussed the process the CCMC used for the development of the Case Managers' Role and Functions Survey Instrument and the identification of new 6 essential functions and 6 knowledge areas that describe case management practice. These findings were based on the survey …

Unitary Pattern-Based Praxis: A Nexus Of Rogerian Cosmology, Philosophy, And Science [Corrected] [Published Erratum Appears In Visions 2008;15(1):28], Howard Butcher
Howard K. Butcher
Unitary pattern-based praxis is a nexus of Rogerian cosmology, philosophy, and science designed to inform practice/research using the praxis processes of pattern manifestation knowing-appreciation and voluntary mutual patterning. The unitary pattern-based praxis model is: an explication of Rogerian cosmology, ontology, epistemology, aesthetics, ethics, postulates, principles, and selected theories; a fusion of cosmology, philosophy, and science with the pattern manifestation knowing-appreciation and voluntary mutual patterning praxis processes for use in both research and patient care contexts; a syntheses Barrett's and Cowling's Rogerian practice methodologies into one comprehensive model; and, a model that places the unitary field pattern portrait research method within …

Living In The Heart Of Helicy: An Inquiry Into The Meaning Of Compassion And Unpredictability Within Rogers' Nursing Science, Howard Butcher
Living In The Heart Of Helicy: An Inquiry Into The Meaning Of Compassion And Unpredictability Within Rogers' Nursing Science, Howard Butcher
Howard K. Butcher
Rogers used the term "compassion" throughout her writings, however, there has been no inquiry into the meaning of compassion within a unitary perspective. In addition, while unpredictability is a core feature of helicy, there have been no inquiries specifically into what it means to participate knowingly in a human-environmental mutual process characterized by unfolding patterns of unpredictability. The heart is both a symbol of compassion and a vortex of energy characterized by turbulence and unpredictability. The purpose of this paper is to explore the meaning of the metaphor "living in the heart of helicy" as a method to illuminate the …
Implications Of Utility And Deontology For The Clinical Nurse Specialist, Lioness Ayres
Implications Of Utility And Deontology For The Clinical Nurse Specialist, Lioness Ayres
Lioness Ayres
Faced with prospective payment plans and personnel shortages nurses in advanced clinical practice are under pressure to find practical solutions. These solutions may reflect the institutional philosophy of utility rather than the traditional nursing ethic of deontology, illustrating the need to examine the differences between utilitarian and deontological principles as they affect nursing practice. This paper discusses deontology and utility as they apply to nursing practice, considers how these different philosophical positions may affect advanced practitioners, and describes the current status of ethics in nursing.

The Mind in Motion

Faculty Sponsor: Galen Johnson, Philosophy
The origin of most scientific disciplines can be traced back to a few philosophical insights posed by a few curious thinkers throughout time, and cognitive science is no exception.While intrigue has nearly always surrounded the human mind and its relation to the brain, validation of this relationship has not been so easy to come by, and there are still areas of contention during this time of advancement in neurological sciences and related technologies.
This topic is very broad (to say the least) so I decided to confine this paper …
The Therapy Of Humiliation: Towards An Ethics Of Humility In The Works Of J.M. Coetzee, Ajitpaul Singh Mangat
The Therapy Of Humiliation: Towards An Ethics Of Humility In The Works Of J.M. Coetzee, Ajitpaul Singh Mangat
Masters Theses
This work asks how and for whom humiliation can be therapeutic. J. M. Coetzee, in his works Waiting for the Barbarians, Life & Times of Michael K and Disgrace, does not simply critique the mentality of Empire, an “Enlightenment” or colonialist mode of knowing that knows no bounds to reason, but offers an alternative through the Magistrate, Michael K and David Lurie, all of whom are brutally shamed and “abjected”. Each character, I propose, experiences a Lacanian “therapy of humiliation” resulting in a subversion of their egos, which they come to understand as antagonistic, a site of …
