…is important to the evolving body of knowledge in the discipline. Newman explains the evolution of her thinking and her theory; this updated textbook will add to the body of knowledge in nursing.’-Mary Elizabeth Sadler, RN, PhD, Professor, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Indiana, PennsylvaniaOne of nursing’s foremost theorists, Margaret Newman, expands her theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness, a theory that emphasizes the healing and transformative nature of nursing. She redefines the nurse’s role as recognizing a person’s unique pattern of life and working within that pattern to achieve that person’s goals. Dr. Newman’s work focuses on allowing people to explore how diseases and disorders affect their lives..how a patient’s life changes because of illness…and how a patient begins to look at life in a different way. Nurses practicing within this perspective experience the joy of participating in the expanding process of others and find that their own lives are enhanced and transformed.Typham this is the title: Transforming Presence The Difference That Nursing Makes
