The four knowledge models are essential aspects of becoming a well-rounded nurse. The first model of knowledge is empirical. Empirical knowledge is the science of nursing. Having hands-on experience is essential to being able to know the basics of how to perform tasks such as taking a patient's blood pressure, drawing blood, or checking their heart rate. The second model of knowledge is ethical. Having a good ethical conscience means that you try to do the right thing and follow the rules that are regulated to being a nurse. Without having the ethical side as a nurse, it would be easy to do whatever you want and break the rules. The third model of knowledge is aesthetic. Having a model of aesthetic knowledge means you have In my IPE class, I volunteer at the Martin Luther Campus doing the outpatient program. I know that seeing my resident every Monday will help improve these four concepts. I have the empirical knowledge model covered in the training they gave us to be able to properly walk residents using a gait belt. The Ethical Knowledge Model is something I have morally started, but I will improve as I continue to work with my resident at home and throughout nursing classes learning the rules and regulations involved in the nursing profession. The aesthetic model of knowledge is something I think I will work on for as long as I am in the nursing program and once I become a nurse. Trying to figure out how to connect and maintain a trusting relationship with my Martin Luther Campus resident will help me tremendously to practice and get used to helping people. Finally, personal knowledge will come when I am more comfortable with myself and with the knowledge I receive in my classes and clinics.
