The focus of this Nursing Theory Conference concentrated on the disciplinary perspective of nursing, and the structure of nursing knowledge. I was asked to challenge those in attendance to think in new ways about the focus of the discipline and to engage in a serious re-engagement with development of the discipline of nursing, based on our foundational values and perspectives.
