Theme – Rogerian Nursing Science: Patterning Change in Nursing and Society

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Society of Rogerian Scholars and invites scholars and practitioners into dialogue about nursing as a pandimensional, evolving process within a changing social world. We will explore how Rogerian science illuminates patterns of change across individuals, communities, and systems, and how these insights inform nursing thought and action.

Objectives:
Through participation in the conference, participants will engage in thinking about:

  • How Rogerian nursing science informs the patterning of change in nursing
    and society.
  • Nursing as a pandimensional, evolving process within individuals,
    communities, and systems.
  • The power of ethical, creative, and transformative possibilities of
    nursing in times of social change.
