Professional advancement model theory is selected for this discussion. This nursing theory can be used in the process of defining and encouraging the promotion of professional contribution in nursing practices. The main role of this theory is the introduction of competency based nurses aiming to contribute in nursing profession from the unit level to advanced clinical practices. The theory encourages the professional development of nurses while focusing on all
areas of clinical practices. The clinical practice and care delivery are the important points in the professional development of nurses and advocated in this nursing theory (Paul, 2019). The production of leadership trait and incorporation of tenants’ traits in nursing profession are essential in the delivery of healthcare services and winning the satisfaction of the patients. The nurses are supposed to select a particular point and concentrate on it while developing their ndividual interest and introducing strengths. The acquisition of advanced knowledge and nursing skills will help nurses to effectively achieve the defined criteria of services while integrating the knowledge to clinical practices.
The main feature of the theory is the advancement of knowledge and implementation of integrated skills and practices into the nursing profession. This attitude is effective for me in the successful completion of my DPI project. The adoption of this theoretical model will encourage me to my professional growth and developmental skills for the successful completion of the project (Paul, 2019). The recognition of significance of professional contribution is an
important aspect of the theory and an essential trait of the advanced practice nurse to follow in the achievement of objectives and to make decisions for the enhancement of patient care outcomes.
