"While the Song insists that we are embodied beings and that the human body is beautiful, it also asserts that we are more than our bodies"

In her landmark book , "From Novice to Expert: Excellence and Power in Clinical Nursing Practice", Dr. Benner tells us that nurses need both theoretical knowledge as well as practical knowledge in order to become experts in their field. Most disciplines place the focus on ‘know that' knowledge (namely theoretical and academic knowledge), but Benner insists that the ‘know how' knowledge of experience is even more important for a nurse, or for anyone involved in a health-care setting, since the nurse/ practitioner learns from an accumulation of experiences and from trail-and-error. Benner (2001), too, posits 5 different levels of development that the health-care practitioner moves through: novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert. Each one builds on the other as the nurse uses the reflection gained from her experience to improve her practice. Each of these five different levels constitute proficiency and skill not only in practical labor, but also in other components – such as skilled communication and mentoring – that are integral to the field of nursing.
