Questions to ask when appraising
How are you using your advanced skills?
How are you maintaining?
What barriers are you facing?
What do you most enjoy?
What can we do to support?
![Page 29: March 2016 Competency development for advanced nursing](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58894e181a28abde5a8b6b6d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Fundamental nursing"Nursing is rooted from the needs of
humanity and is founded on the ideal of service. And that, “the nurse is temporarily the consciousness of the unconscious, the love of life for the suicidal, the leg of the amputee, the eyes of the newly blind, a means of locomotion for the infant, knowledge and confidence for the mother and the mouthpiece for those too weak or withdrawn to speak”
![Page 34: March 2016 Competency development for advanced nursing](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58894e181a28abde5a8b6b6d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The fundamentals of nursing
The unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to peaceful death) that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, will, or knowledge. And to do this in such a way as to help him gain independence as rapidly as possible.”
Henderson V. (1966), The Nature of Nursing: 15: Macmillan Publishing, New York.

The value of nursing Goes beyond the medical model Nurse with the hands, the heart and the
head Develop a partnership a with the unique
human being Value the person’s perspective, hopes
and aspirations Enables us to provide humanistic care and
support
![Page 36: March 2016 Competency development for advanced nursing](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58894e181a28abde5a8b6b6d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
All is changed
Advanced practice changes every aspect of nursing
If we get this right then nursing and patient care moves forward and we provide compassionate life enhancing care
![Page 37: March 2016 Competency development for advanced nursing](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58894e181a28abde5a8b6b6d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The art and scienceArt – trusting relationships. We meet
people in their darkest hours and they share their hopes, fears and aspirations
Science – working out what can be done to aid recovery or come to terms with changes
Art is in working with the person through these times
The art and science combine to provide kind, compassionate humane care.

Advanced nursing practice Contributes to
developing nursing Enables us to
nurse with the hands, the heart and the head
Enriches the lives of those we care for and our lives
