“…This alone warrants examination about how uncritical acceptance of the metaparadigm may inadvertently reinforce uneven distributions of power and structural inequities within nursing and health care going forward. To this effect, we highly recommend the contemporary dialogue paper by Suárez-Baquero 58 as an important read about decolonizing nursing knowledge.…”

Arguably, the quest for a central, unifying paradigm in nursing has distracted from moving disciplinary knowledge forward in an accessible, meaningful manner. In this discursive philosophical article, we uphold that multiparadigmatic research teams and diverse approaches inform effective nursing praxis. We provide an overview of our worldviews (dialectical pluralism, critical realism, humanism, and pragmatism) and their philosophical assumptions and describe how they are commensurate with nursing. We present the Stadium Model in Nursing as a metaphor to illustrate how various worldviews function like different sections of a stadium to offer diverse, yet important vantages of our nursing phenomena of interest.

The imperative to decolonise health disciplines underscores the need for a critical examination of the coloniality of nursing knowledge development. Decolonising nursing requires epistemic resistance aimed at exposing and dismantling epistemological hierarchies that marginalise indigenous knowledges. This paper introduces the ‘Pluriverse of Nursologies’ as paradigm to guide decolonial theorising in nursing. Through a four‐part exploration, I first elucidate the coloniality embedded in mainstream nursing knowledge. Next, I offer a decolonial critique of Fawcett's nursing metaparadigm as an exemplar of pyramidal epistemology. I then discuss pluriversality as an approach to decolonising nursing knowledge. Finally, I introduce the Pluriverse of Nursologies (PoN) as a meta‐theoretical paradigm for theory and knowledge development that decentres and dismantles the pyramidal epistemology of colonial/modern nursing, and relinks diverse nursologies from marginalised communities to the centre of intellectual nursing discourse, thereby revitalising the theoretical landscape of the discipline.
