Understanding the Work of Nurse Theorists: A Creative Beginning
Search in google:
Sitzman (nursing, Weber State University) and Eichelberger (nursing, Clayton College and State University) have designed a text for first- time nursing theory students who may believe that theory will be irrelevant and difficult to grasp. They use well-known works of art to illuminate the work of 17 prominent nursing theorists, and provide visual, tactile, and kinesthetic learning activities to support personal discovery and the construction of individual meaning. Color examples of works of art are included. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
