Introduction
by Group E's May Anne Mendoza
Nursing theory is the bridge between learning new information and applying to clinical practice. The 21 Problems Problems Theory in Nursing Process rooted from the personal experience and professional expertise of Faye G. Abdellah as a patient, relative, caregiver and nurse. Dr. Abdellah was one of the most influential nursing theorist, leader, and public health scientists. IT is due to her works that the patient-centered approach to nursing was developed.
Abdellah’s diverse experience in nursing still has a great influence in the over-all nursing field.
It’s her desire to be a nurse, passionate and caring as she can be that leads us to where the nursing profession is at the present.
To understand this theory more, we need to know and explore the theorist and the basis of her theory more.

Concluding Remarks from Group Leader
Concluding Remarks from Group Leader

First, we'd like to thank you for taking time to read our blog.
We hope that you were able to get as much insights as we did when we went through the entire process of synthesizing the most relevant information available, which our group has meaningfully put together, with the hope of exemplifying the essence of Faye Glenn Abdellah's 21 Nursing Problems to the nursing practice.
Ultimately, Abdellah---- the first of her kind (Deputy Surgeon General) (Petiprin, 2016)--- formulated and subsequently propagated a theory that aims at matching the nursing skills to resolve the patients' problems. And to make this possible, nurses must embody a HELPING attitude, which all starts with learning to know the patient (10 steps in patient problem identification) and ends with the implementation of nursing procedures (11 nursing skills) (Petiprin, 2016).
Consequently, the nurses' helping mindset TRANSCENDS generations--- a basic nursing principle that should never get old...
And so... here's to the MILLENNIAL Abdellahs!
