1. Professional Nursing: Concepts and Challenges
Professional Nursing: Concepts and Challenges ON Professional Nursing: Concepts and
ChallengesGetting StartedThis assignment will focus on historical events in nursing. Nursing
is not a static, unchanging profession. Over the years, the duties of a nurse, the knowledge
required of nurses, and the focus of nursing has changed; it will continue to change over the
course of your lifetime. It is important to be aware of how change has taken place in nursing
over the years, so that we can be more aware of how we are impacting the nursing
profession today. Are you currently making a positive impact within the nursing profession?
What can you do to make a positive impact?Upon successful completion of this discussion,
you will be able to:Describe three events that have occurred over the last 150 years that
have changed professional nursing practice.Discuss historical nurses who influenced these
changes.Describe how these events/historical nurses have impacted
nursing.ResourcesFile: Partial List of References for the Textbook by Black – 7th edition

Summary Journal IntroductionFile: Workshop Summary Journal ExampleBackground
InformationIt has been said that some things never change. Perhaps part of the reason
things do not change is that we do not understand the reasons behind why we do the things
we do. Some of our current practices may stem back to historical roots. When we
understand those roots, we can more easily choose to change the way we do things—
realizing that some things we have continued to do out of tradition, even though they are no
longer necessary in the current era of nursing. How often have you thought, “I do not
understand why we, as nurses, need to do this or that?” Throughout this workshop, think
about the things you are doing. Are you doing it because that was the way things were done
in the past? Does it make sense to continue to do things the same way? Consider how you
can improve the way nursing is done in the future. Just because it was always done a certain
way in the past does not mean that we should continue to do it in the same manner in the
future.InstructionsReview the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning
your grade.Read Chapter 2, “The History and Social Context of Nursing,” in your

Nursing Theory For discussion 1.2, the textbook provides a great overview of the history of
nursing, naming several different nurses who had a tremendous impact on our profession
and on patient care. In addition, if you google the internet, you can find a plethora of
information on the history of nursing and specific individuals who made a great impact on
nursing. Look for information on nurses with whom you had previously been unfamiliar.
You will be amazed at the history of nursing! ? General information regarding nursing
theory can be found in the textbook and on the internet. I have included a few examples of
references for the textbook here. Additional references for the textbook need to include
chapter author, title of the chapter, and page range for the chapter as well. In addition, here
are a couple of articles that provide some great information regarding the usefulness of
nursing theories. On the “Resources for Workshop Two” document, you will find a list of
articles for various individual theorists. ? References Dieckmann, J. L. (2020). The history

reference list for the chapters of the Professional Nursing: Concepts & Challenges textbook.
Since this book has chapter authors named at the top of each chapter, you need to cite the
chapter author rather than simply the authors named on the outside of the textbook. To
create this list, I typed the name of the author (2019) and the title of the chapter. Then, I
copied everything from: In B. P. Black… to the end of the reference and changed the page
numbers. (Note: Your reference list should be in alphabetical order and should have a
hanging indent so that the author’s name is easy to spot). Note the “a” and “b” are used to
differentiate citations between different authors by the same author. Baker, M. J. (2020).
