Abstract

As a discipline , Nursing is increasingly defining its own independent functions and contributions to health care . The Development and use of Nursing Theory provide autonomy in the practice of nursing in many ways As nurses demonstrate that nursing does indeed make a difference and that nursing service are valuable , the discipline become more independent . Having a body of knowledge specific to the discipline allows members to be viewed by others as experts

this in turn gives nurses the authority to carry out actions . Today it has become even more necessary to demonstrate efficient , cost effective and high quality care with in the organized healthcare delivery system . By practicing theory based nursing combined with critical thinking skills , nurses are able not only to deliver care that meets those criteria but likewise to describe what it is they do . The major concepts employed in their administration of care serves as their model which will be the central theme of this research , in its aspect of finding out its impact towards the professional environment
