Inspiration and application of theory:-

The mind plays a role in Rogers nursing model, and it seems to be part of what she seems as being the driving force to do good work in field. Every nurses, much like every doctor, must reconcile within themselves why they do the work and why it is important to continue. Rogers offers that humans are more complex than the parts nurses interact with when endeavouring to cure or mend them. Therefore, nurses efforts are amplified when the endeavour to help save a life since that life is more valuable than the body that the nurse helped save. In this way a nurse can find strong motivation to do this work to the best degree possible. She is more unique.

The nursing staff is it help to achieve maximum health. At the time of discharge, family support and rehabilitation was provided so that the patient is hale and hearty in future. Based on Rogers concerned nursing care should be provided to every patient and his family so that they can achieve their maximum health and to gain family with maximum psychological support.
