Nursing grand theories were implemented as broad models that were applicable several decades ago. With new graduate nurses entering the work force in their desired specialty, grand theories may not be applicable to their practice. Nursing theory should offer nurses with a practice framework that provides direction and assist with identifying what is understood and what needs to be learned. Middle-range theories are more definitive, have fewer concepts, and are testable, making them user friendly.

We should all be motivating each other to do better, especially in the field of patient care, instead of degrading each other. “Mentorships foster ideas, arouse creativity, and challenge abilities, concepts essential to all branches and levels of nursing.”
