Parse's nursing theory and the practice of perioperative nursing.
Many nurse theorists have emerged in the midst of the Nursing Profession's struggle for recognition as a science. To gain autonomy we as nurses must first examine our personal philosophies of nursing. Then we can examine why so many nursing professionals experience "burn out" so early in their careers. I propose that we must change how we define our practice from the use of the medical model to our own model. Although we work closely with medicine, we are not physicians or medical aids; we are nurses.
