For most nurses, the only constant in their days is the fact that things are perpetually changing around them. However, the majority of the training they receive before reaching their hectic workplaces is based on stable, theoretical examples. One California professor is trying to change that. Dr. Elena Cappella, an assistant professor and the director of the online, 3-semester Master in Nursing program at the University of San Francisco's School of Nursing and Health Professions, uses chaos theory and self-reflection strategies in her classroom to help guide the latest generation of nurses in a way that will ultimately reduce their stress and improve their effectiveness in the workplace.
