“…Of employed registered nurses, 58% have less than a bachelor of science in nursing, and only 0.6% hold earned doctorates (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, as cited in Phillips, 2000). Anderson (2000) asks, "Why would a young person choose nursing?" She answers:…”

“…(p. 257) It is predicted that by 2020 there will be a dire shortage of nurses (O'Neill, 2000). According to O'Neill, unless nursing is viewed as a substantive scien-tific discipline, today's bright Generation Xers, who could solve the longstanding issues that Anderson (2000) discussed, will not be attracted. Anderson (2000) suggests, as others have before her, that the only longrange solution is to require a postbaccalaureate degree for entry into practice.…”

Nurs Sci Q

The enigma of defining nursing science is preceded by defining nursing, science, research, and nursing theory-guided practice. The context for exploring the meaning of nursing science is provided through examination of the totality and simultaneity paradigms. Differing views of nursing as a discipline are discussed. The position is taken that nursing is a basic science with various nursing schools of thought that constitute the substantive knowledge of the discipline. Finally, a definition of nursing science is presented that is broad enough to encompass all disciplinary knowledge. Despite current challenges, an optimistic vision is emerging. The nurse theorists and other nurse scholars who are furthering the development of this work are considered to be the cultural creatives of nursing and contributors to a larger movement toward wholeness in science and in society.
