M.Cur. / There is a tendency that the registered nurse migrate from the public health sector to the private hospital. In the private hospital the registered nurse is faced with demands to render a consumer orientated service. The greater demands on the registered nurse within the independent nursing practice has the result that her striving for professional and personal wholeness is impaired, leading to ineffective functioning as an independent nursing practitioner. The purpose of this study is to develop an orientation programme for registered nurses. This will facilitate professional and personal wholeness. The purpose is operationalized by means of a qualitative descriptive study, that explore and describe the experience of the registered nurse in the private hospital, as well as the expectations of the doctor (as consumer)). From these two aspects the obstacle were identified that can encumber the registered nurse to function as independent nursing practitioner. Three sets of premises were drawn up out of which the contents of the programme were differentiated by means of inductive logic. The subjacent philosophical elements of the. orientation programme are the Nursing Theory for the Whole Person (whole person), the adult as learner and accompanied self study.
