Good example, Betty, of applying the four patterns of knowing to practice. Class: Let’s investigate personal knowing just a bit more. I found this article from our UOPX library to be very thought-provoking. Thorne (2020) indicated a concern about how politics might affect the core values of teaching nursing. Please read this article and share your impressions with the class. What actions do you think nurse educators need to take in preparing the next generation of nurses related to personal knowing? How might clear insight into one’s own thoughts and feelings influence the care they give?

PS: When writing SMART outcomes that are measurable, just adding a number alone does not make it measurable. Jane receiving proper medication is more of an intervention than an outcome. What symptoms are being measured (must be specific)? How will the nurse know these are 70% less?
