Step I: Create Your Mind Map
Create a Mind Map, with the central topic of “My Professional Nursing Philosophy”.

Be as creative as you wish.
Include your Mind Map when you submit your assignment.
Step II: Select a Nursing Theory
Select a nursing theory which embodies some of the same concepts found in your Professional Nursing Philosophy or one which resonates with you.
The theory that you select will be a part of your answers in Step III — it’s advised that you read over those questions before reviewing the nursing theories and choosing one!
You may use theories from the required readings or from a nursing journal.
It is highly recommended that you review readings focusing on the theories you are most interested in
Using ChatGPT or other AI software to dive deep into these nursing theories and learn more about them on a personal level is highly encouraged.

Do the central concepts of your Professional Nursing Philosophy align with the metaparadigm of nursing theories? Explain differences and similarities.
Discuss how your selected nursing theory aligns with your Professional Nursing Philosophy and how the two relate to nursing practice. What resonates with you personally and why? The theory does not have to be an exact match to your Professional Nursing Philosophy.
