Abstract
This paper takes a look at photographs of nurses at work and discusses how the art depicts and captures the science. The paper explains each photo in detail from both an artistic and scientific point of view, bringing in additional aspects such as humanitarian values.
Overview:
Introduction
Nursing as Human Art
The Role of Children in Nursing Arts
Nursing and Education
The Use of Imagery in Public Education
From the Paper
"The only time-bound elements of the photograph are physical. The ideal depicted by the image is however timeless. Nursing is a science and an art acquired by thorough and excellent education. Education, like nursing, is both a science and an art.
In terms of science, the imagery is obvious. The books lining the shelves, along with the document in the professor's hands, depict the scientific element. There are very specific and concrete elements connected with nursing. Nurses need a large amount of concrete, scientific knowledge before entering the profession.
In terms of art, the aesthetic value of the picture is a complimentary depiction of the rather formidable professor and the amount of books behind her. She appears to suggest that excellence is only achieved by hard work and learning. The black and white of the picture furthermore compliments this idea."

Abstract
This paper discusses the fact that there are many theories on the topic of teaching as art or science. The paper examines and supports certain theories through describing the educator's role in teaching as an art or science, the interpretation of pedagogy and andragogy and the learning styles of students.
Outline
Introduction
Teaching as an Art or Science
Pedagogy vs. Andragogy
The Instructional or Learning Theory
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The concept of understanding any subject usually begins with objective or subjective information. Consequently the topic of the art and science of teaching is a combination of the two. Aside from theories art has many diverse definitions that include "a system of principles and methods employed in performance of a set of activities" and "a trade or craft that applies such a system of principles and methods" (internet source, 2005). Furthermore, Science is primarily defined as "methodological activity, discipline or study" as well as "knowledge, especially that gained through experience" (internet source, 2005). How do these definitions relate to the efforts of educational instruction?"

Teaching as an Art and a Science, 2002.
Analysis of the teaching profession and how it should be considered both an art and a science.
1,166 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 67.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the different elements of the teaching profession and suggests that some aspects of the profession make it a science and some aspects make it an art. The paper contends that, while the pedagogical element of teaching is a science, the aspect of teaching most concerned with human interaction is an art. The paper makes use of several sources to support the notion that teaching is both a science and an art.
From the Paper
"Teaching clearly makes use of both science and art today. In the past, teaching was much more science than art, and teachers were left largely to their own devices to determine how to reach their students and what to teach. As teaching became a profession, with a course of instruction to prepare teachers, the idea that teaching was a science became more prominent, with the colleges emphasizing this idea as they inculcated teachers into specialized knowledge and methods based on scientific research, including school testing, empirical research into learning styles and processes, and so on."

Teaching: An Art and A Science, 2007.
This paper describes how teaching is both an art and a science.
1,488 words (approx. 6.0 pages), 7 sources, MLA, AU$ 81.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how teaching is an art because teaching is, by its very nature, creative and interpretative. The paper shows how it requires both experience and previous advanced-level study of an academic subject. The paper maintains that teaching is also a science because it involves both the formal study of education and/or an applied academic area. The paper relates that teaching also requires a scientific process of trial and error in order to evaluate which pedagogical approaches and techniques work well in the classroom.
From the Paper
"Subsequently, student teaching gives the newest teachers their first actual classroom teaching experiences, and then teachers acquire further teaching experiences in their own classrooms once they finish their student teaching requirement. Experience is valuable for teachers because it is that alone that teaches them what works in the classroom and what does not; it is through experience, in fact, that teachers acquire (or, in many cases, do not acquire) the distinct "artfulness" of teaching style that distinguishes them in their profession and sets them apart from others."

System Development, Art or Science, 2004.
A description of the systems development cycle.
783 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the author's view that systems development is an art by showing that the kinds of systems employed often depend on the system analysts and what they deem fit. It examines how the systems development cycle (SDLC) consists of project identification or selection, project initiation and planning, analysis, logical design, physical design, implementation, and maintenance.
From the Paper
"In recent times, a main goal of user-centered design has become critical in the systems development (Smith and Dunckley, 2002). This process places the user in a central position for both determining system requirements and ensuring they are met. The benefits of these systems include not only improvements in user efficiency, but also others, such as reduced training costs, reduced user errors, reduced maintenance costs, and increased customer satisfaction. However, the chief requirements in these kinds of systems become to understand the users? information needs. As we argued earlier, the systems analysts cannot determine information needs scientifically, rather the system analysts are required to obtain this needs by projecting an extrovert interpersonal style that fits more closely to an art form.

The Morality of Science and the Literary Arts, 2007.
A comparison of the morality of science and the literary arts, as discussed in "What is Science?" by George Orwell and "The Two Cultures" by C.P. Snow.

Abstract
This paper discusses the debate between scientists and practitioners of the literary arts, as to the social impact of their respective fields of study. The paper compares and contrasts the ideas discussed in two essays, "What is Science?" by George Orwell and "The Two Cultures" by C.P. Snow. The paper concludes that a combination of both cultures is needed in order to make someone capable of making moral choices and understanding the physical world.
From the Paper
"On the other hand, Snow claims that an education in the scientific culture rather than the traditional culture will provide the greatest benefit because it will enable people to look past the tragic individual human condition of death so that they can live better lives. This tragic human condition "is no excuse for [man's] dying before his time and after a servile life. The impulse behind the scientists drives them to limit the area of tragedy, to take nothing as tragic that can conceivably lie within men's will" (232). Snow's message is that an education in the sciences will help man improve the quality of life through technology and advancements in health care. Since scientists decide not to focus on the tragic condition of death, there is much hope in life."

Georges Seurat: Science and Art., 2002.
An overview of the use of color theory and physics in the paintings of Georges Seurat.

Abstract
This paper will examine Seurat and his paintings - and, in particular, the use of colour theory and physics in his painting - in order to demonstrate how the artistic and the scientific can be complementary as opposed to mutually exclusive propositions. While it must be acknowledged that Seurat was not a "true" scientist in any respect, nonetheless, his insights into colour theory represent a pivotal moment in Western art history when science and art converged.

Science and Art in Teaching, 2002.
An analysis of various approaches to teaching, including a discussion of research on this topic.

Abstract
This paper discusses different methods of teaching and analyzes the background of these methods. The paper tackles the questions of how much research should dictate how well we teach, and whether research should be the driving force in all cases, since its effectiveness has been demonstrated. The paper examines the use of 'best practices' in teaching, explaining the importance of taking the best from all research studies and combining that with common sense and intuition. The paper claims that the artful, intuitive application of scientific (research) techniques or knowledge in the classroom is the key to teaching successfully.
From the Paper
"In recent years, educators have seen a move toward the use of ?best practices? in education. ?Best practices? are teaching methods that have been rigorously tested and proven to be effective with a large number of students. When educational leaders compile collections of best practices, they look carefully to the research available to support the use of those practices. They can articulate what the strengths and weaknesses of each approach are, based on the research, and they can provide specific numbers ? percentages of students who, in the past, have made significant progress when teachers used each practice."

Nursing and Obstetrical Nursing Curricula, 2006.
A look at the organizations that regulate and control nursing and nursing education programs.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 2 sources, AU$ 58.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at nursing and obstetrical nursing and investigates what agencies police and design the curricula for these fields. The State Boards of Nursing and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission are examined and the policies and standards that they set are discussed as well as the required curriculum content and development they oversee. Their impact upon curriculum development and revision is also reviewed.
From the Paper
"In the arena of nursing, there are so many specialties, so many fields, so many types of nurses, that there must be governing and regulatory bodies. Without such organizations that regulate and control nursing and nursing education programs, there would not be a singular and uniform set of expectations for this nation's nursing professionals. The two organizations that will be discussed in regard to how they influence the regulation of nursing, and more specifically how they could influence obstetrical nursing, are the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). The first of the two governing agencies that this paper will discuss and investigate is the NCSBN."

Abstract
This paper considers the reasons for using non-nursing personnel to perform nursing tasks and then takes a look at the advantages and disadvantages of doing so. The paper also discusses the outlook for using non-nursing personnel in the nursing profession as well as the decline in qualified nurses in the labor pool.
From the Paper
"Much has been written about the nursing shortage that plagues physicians, hospitals and nursing homes in the United States. At the same time that there are fewer qualified nurses available in the work force a number of states and municipalities have passed regulations regarding the nurse-to-patient ratio that is making the situation even more acute. As a result, healthcare providers have been forced to be innovative in the way that they attract nurses to their institutions and recruiting efforts..."

"Common Science? Women, Science and Knowledge" by Jean Barr and Lynda Birke, 2000.
A review of the work on the nature of scientific study, objective truth and the alienation of women from scientific fields.
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 1 source, AU$ 104.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"Science is a pervasive influence on human life today, though most people have only a vague image of what science means and may have complete misperceptions about certain scientific concepts. Many people simply have not been exposed to the information they need to judge science. Women, however, have been actively excluded, or at least discouraged, from science for some time, a factor much noted in analyses of academic statistics and in analyses of the job market in science. This is noted in the book Common Science? Women, Science, and Knowledge by Jean Barr and Lynda Birke as part of their primary emphasis on the fact that the scientific community remains largely unaccountable to the public. Part of their approach to this issue is to talk to non-academics to see what they think about science and about the issues surrounding the field."

Nursing, 2004.
This paper discusses whether nursing is a science, an art, or both.
825 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 3 sources, APA, AU$ 48.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses that, when nursing first began, it was mainly an art form aimed at easing the pain of the sick and injured. However, during the past century, nurses have learned, not only the art of healing ,but also how to care properly for wounds and illnesses through scientific measures. The author points out that, while scientific medicine has seen a number of improvements over the years due to technology, the basic art of nursing has remained unchanged. The paper concludes that patients still need interaction and contact with a caregiver to benefit fully from technology today.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"There has consistently been a link between technology and American trained nurses. Although they may not have considered them technology, nurses have ?always used a variety of tools, instruments, and machines including thermometers and cardiac monitors, enema cans and respirators, and beds and infusion pumps to appraise, treat, and comfort patients." It is impossible to think of nursing without ?these tools of the trade and the techniques, divisions of labor, and social relations surrounding them." Nurses, as well as the American public, consider technology existing in scientific medicine, and feel these ?devices allow them to vicariously participate in the prestige accorded medicine by virtue of its technology.""
