Aim
The aim of this conference is to provide an opportunity for nurses and philosophers to think about nursing practice; to think about the ideas that lie behind nursing actions.
Questions that might be posed include:
- What is the relationship between various complex ideas (e.g. theories, models) and nursing practice?
- How are and/or should nursing ideas be collected, organized, and changed?
- How is excellence or the lack thereof in nursing understood, measured, and assessed?
- How do our ideas about the nurse’s world impact that world?
- When, and how, do ideas get adopted or rejected in nursing?
- Why do some ideas become established in nursing while others fade over time?
- What can philosophers learn about knowledge, thought, and ideas from the nurse’s world?
