Application of myra estrin levine theory

Introduction and Biography





















        Myra Levine has been called a Renaissance woman—highly principled, remarkable, and committed to what happens to the quality of life of patients. She was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend, educator, administrator, student of humanities, scholar, enabler, and confidante. She was amazingly intelligent, opinionated, quick to respond, loving, caring, trustworthy, and global in her vision of nursing. She was committed to her Jewish faith; she planted a tree in Israel in memory of my father. What a precious gift she was! “In the Talmudic tradition of her ancestors, she was a forthright spokesperson for social justice and the inherent dignity of the human person as a child of God” (Mid-Year Convocation, 1992). She lives on in my heart, as I hope she will in yours, as you learn about her and the model she unknowingly created to develop nursing knowledge.

      The nursing profession is continuously evolving and dynamic. Ever since Florence Nightingale star
