If you are a registered nurse or health care
professional you won’t want to miss this
lecture on strengths-based nursing,
deemed the new nursing paradigm for the
21st century!
Dr. Gottlieb says strengths-based nursing is
an approach to care that “provides the
vision, values, and evidence that can
transform and humanize health care by
reconnecting it with the concepts of
Florence Nightingale and expanding those
concepts to meet the realities of 21stcentury health care.”
A strength-based approach, she says, is
about looking at client and family
strengths, and helping to build on those
strengths.
