NR 510 Week 2: Theory and the APN Role Discussion - Part 1 and Part 2
Part One
Karen, a registered nurse, decided that she wants to become a CNP. She applied and was accepted to the Family Nurse Practitioner program at Chamberlain College of Nursing. She received a course curriculum that outlined the courses necessary to complete her degree. One of the early courses in the program curriculum is NR501 Theoretical Basis for Advanced Nursing Practice.
You are a student colleague of Karen's enrolled in the same class. On the course Q & A Forum, Karen posted, "Nursing theory is outdated and is too broad and isn't useful for Advance Practice Nurses."
Discussion Question:
Is Karen right? Is theory important to APN practice? Why, or why not?
Part Two
Karen is still not convinced that Theory has any place in APN practice. Provide a specific example of how theory is relevant to APN practice in one of the four specialties (CNM, CNP, CRNA or CNS). Provide evidence to support your arguments.
