Abstract

This is a review of a book: Nursing Knowledge and Theory Innovation: Advancing the Science of Practice (2nd Ed.). Two eminent scholars edited this book with 10 contributing authors. Divided into 15 distinct chapters, the book tackles thorny issues such as the distinction between DNP and PhD nurses in generating and applying theory and research in practice. Oriented toward graduate students, faculty, advanced practice, and doctorally-prepared nurses, this text includes exemplar interludes to inspire readers to reflect on their own practice through their worldviews.
