PATTERNS OF KNOWLEDGE IN A CRITICAL INCIDENT

Abstract

Many of the life experiences in Nursing teaching and practice in which we play the lead, left us a lesson, mostly in clinical and teaching practice, although, occasionally, this goes unnoticed due we don't know the undertone of the importance and the foundation that nursing gives to each of those experiences with a base on the disciplinar structure. This article is a testimony of a daily experience of a nurse and the analysis of it face to Carper's patterns of knowing. Identifying knowledge patterns in the daily life is something that is immersed in nursing attitudes and care, but maybe we don't notice it and don't know how to do it. This paper tries to make us know, unaffectedly, the way in which we can identify the knowledge patterns with a critical accident base, that is, with a life-experience base, where the main axis is our commitments with health as a value for the nurse
