| Summary: | The purpose for this research was to study the meaning of the lived experience of excellence in nursing practice as described by registered nurses. The phenomenon of excellence in practice is a commonly cited goal of individual nurses, as well as of organized departments of nursing service and nursing education. Ray's phenomenological method was used to describe and identify themes and to construct the meaning of excellence in nursing practice experience as used in the language by nurses. Registered nurses were interviewed by using an open-ended question technique. In addition, audiotape was employed, and the interviews were transcribed to text. The phenomenological analytic method of dwelling with and describing the data was used to identify emergent themes. The themes allowed for the emergence of a unity of meaning of the lived experience of excellence in nursing practice. Relationships with and visions for nursing were presented. | |
