Product Description
This coherent presentation of clinical judgement, caring practices and collaborative practice provides ideas and images that readers can draw upon in their interactions with others and in their interpretation of what nurses do. It includes many clear, colorful examples and describes the five stages of skill acquisition, the nature of clinical judgement and experiential learning and the seven major domains of nursing practice. The narrative method captures content and contextual issues that are often missed by formal models of nursing knowledge. The book uncovers the knowledge embedded in clinical nursing practice and provides the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition applied to nursing, an interpretive approach to identifying and describing clinical knowledge, nursing functions, effective management, research and clinical practice, career development and education, plus practical applications. For nurses and healthcare professionals.

I had to write a paper on a nursing theorist and I chose Patricia Benner. I ordered this book thinking it was going to be another boring book I had to read. I really enjoyed this book and it gave great insight into how nurses evolve in their careers! I would highly recommend this book!

The book of Patricia Benner "From novice to expert"-Excellence and power in clinical nursing practice, has been very influential in the domain of expertise. The public and politicians relies on experts for understanding events and deciding choices. The division between epistemic (explaining) and performing (doing actually) expertise is fully integrated in the Patricia Benner book (see the Differences between practical and theoretical knowledge p2). All the interpretation and proposals of the book are based on the Dreyfuss model of skill acquisition studied initially on chess performances of chess masters. Brenner book is somewhat unique in the interest of building a full practical operative construction. This is a rare detailed applied expertise in the medical area. As written, "exemplars" of diverse situations are given, and provide confrontation between rules and real life. A book of interest for all those interested in expertise.

Book is in perfect condition and arrived promptly. I have only read a little of the book, however it has been referenced by many of my graduate classmates.
Should be required reading for all RN's August 21, 2007

This book should be required reading for all nurses in all nursing programs. It is an unspoken nursing student idea that when you graduate from your nursing program that you should, "know it all." This is unrealistic for the new/novice nurse. This book explains the process and gives comfort the the new nurse that expecting you to "know it all" is unreasonable and is not an expectation of the profession.
