"Theory is not meant to be an exact truth and/or reality: it is intended to be an approximation & a tool to see new possibilities." Chin & Kramer, p. 125
Perhaps we should consider nursing theory from a larger perspective? All too often nurses relate "theory" to "thoerists." I would like to see content relating to evidence based nursing and how theory guides practice. It might be a good idea to include some discussion on ways of "knowing." Try reading Chinn & Kramer's "Integrating Knowledge Development in Nursing." They offer a great perspective to nursing theory.

I can't believe this is still a stub!. This topic has historically been a hotbed for flaming in the Nursing world. My plan is to flesh it out a bit, then recruit some grad students to tear into it. Hopefully, they will make something innovative and provocative.LeonardM 15:27, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Why rely on grad students? I'm a floor nurse with an interest in this area. My interest however is the controversy surrounding the perceived uselessness of nursing theory to actual practice. That's the area that I would want to flesh out. abulafia 10:58, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
The list of "Major nursing theorists" is definitely lacking, and (while it isn't said explicitly) you get the impression that nursing theories and nursing models are the same thing. J
"It cannot be denied, however, that there is much vanity involved in the formulation of nursing theory." Granted I agree, but this is hardly unbiased. I'm going to go ahead and delete it from the mainn entry, but I'd love to see some more discussion. Sarah Waggoner (talk) 20:37, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
