Ways of Knowing “Nursing Assignment” Homework Help

Topic: Ways of Knowing “Nursing Assignment”

This assignment is designed to stimulate intellectual curiosity. Begin by reflecting on your practice (previous or current, I

have listed my examples below). (in 500 hundred words or less):

1. Could the ways of knowing inform your practice? Provide specific examples for each type of knowing from your experience in

the practice environment. (I have copied and paste below) This question comes from the original source: Carper, B.A. (1978).

Fundamental patterns of knowing in nursing. Advances in Nursing Science, 1(1), 13-23.
2. Identify your preferred paradigm and give supporting rationale for each. I prefer the interpretive paradigm
(For example, one source is : Monti, E. J., & Tingen, M. S. (1999). Multiple paradigms of nursing science. Advanced Nursing

Science, 21(4), 64-80.)

3. How will the ways of knowing (from question 1) influence your practice as an advanced nurse practitioner.
(Answer this question in terms of the degree that you are currently seeking) I am seeking the doctorate of nursing practice

degree with a nurse educator subspeciality.

Despite these being personal questions, you are to write your responses in 3rd person (this DNP or MSN student, this author).

Please change this for me, I wrote in first person to provide my examples down below for question 1.

Most assignments in the college of nursing are written in 3rd person and scholarly articles in refereed journals are

generally written in 3rd person so it is important for you to practice this skill.

Reference liberally. Always use primary sources, rather than secondary sources when available (and most are available). For

instance, if Chinn and Kramer talk about Barbara Carper’s fundamental patterns of knowing, then go to Carper’s work and read

for yourself. Do you agree with Chinn and Kramer’s understanding? If so, credit Carper for her work and credit Chinn and

Kramer for their interpretation, if relevant to the discussion. The deep dive is an important aspect of scholarship.

Remember, you are scholars “students of advanced learning”.
