Description

Unitary Transformative Nursing is a continuous practice of self-reflection and refinement in pattern appraisal. Observation of our integral environmental field patterns will mirror our own internal landscape. This practice of honest internal dialogue transforms not only our Self, it also gives theory form and provides a methodology for articulating the often elusive theoretical basis for our holistically informed clinical practice. The use of imagery from nature and the metaphor of the elements, earth (soil), water (rain), fire (sun), air (wind), as pattern appraisal tools can assist in a unique expression of theory informed practice. This paper is a description of one nurse's journey of implementing a practice of Unitary Transformative Nursing at a large urban hospital and the use of creative pattern appraisal tools to merge theory into practice.
