“People don’t really know what nurses do, and the UCI Center for Nursing Philosophy is there, in part, to figure that out. It’s important to have this forum for discussion, discovery and scholarship. Philosophy is needed because the complexity of nursing, which continues to evolve and expand, doesn’t fit into traditional matrices of explanation,” says Miriam Bender, CNP founding director and associate professor of nursing. Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing / UCI Philosophy has been part of nursing at least since the days of Florence Nightingale. Working independently or as part of a team, nurses care for the sick, the injured, the disabled and the dying; encourage the health of individuals, families and communities; and are leaders in healthcare management, research, policymaking and patient advocacy. Of all the healthcare professionals who attend to patients, the nurse is the constant in their care. It is this very uniqueness that makes a standard definition of nursing almost impossible. “In nursing, you can’t be certain about what’s going to happen 10 minutes from now, let alone at the end of your shift,” says Miriam Bender, UCI associate professor of nursing. “We have a problem, literally, coming to terms with the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of our practice.” To help solve that problem, she established the UCI Center for Nursing Philosophy in 2019. It provides a forum for discourse, discussion and scholarship about a profession constantly in a state of flux. It’s the first such a...

People typically use the words “skilled nursing, “assisted living” and “nursing home” interchangeably, but they’re actually all different terms. Nursing home is a term used to describe the physical building where residents receive assisted living or skilled nursing care. Assisted living is for seniors who don’t need around-the-clock nursing care but who could use help with activities of daily living (ADL). ADLs include assistance with eating, medication reminders, bathing, dressing and getting out of bed. Skilled nursing care refers to a patient’s need for care or treatment that can only be performed by licensed nurses. This type of care is usually offered in hospitals, assisted living communities, Life Plan Communities, nursing homes and other certified locations. Skilled nursing is mostly regulated by the U.S. Department of Health and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). To be certified by CMS, skilled nursing communities must meet strict criteria and are subject to periodic inspections to ensure quality standards are being met. Types of skilled nursing care If you or a loved one has had a stro...
