The debate needs to continue...[by focusing on] whether nursing is teaching an appropriate level of inquiry including philosophy and methodologies specific to those real-world, rapidly changing conditions that characterize today's practice environment.\" \u003cP align=right\u003eFrom the Foreword by \u003cB\u003eSally J.

The authors assume readers may not have a formal background in the philosophy of science, and write in a conversational tone with a minimum of difficult terminology. They discuss the current state of DNP education in a way that can foster discourse and debate.\" \u003cb\u003eScore: 97, 5 Stars. --Doody?s Medical Reviews\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cP\u003eTailored for both DNP and PhD doctoral nursing programs, this text is the first to focus on philosophy of science applications to the discipline of nursing. The authors, a philosopher and a nurse-scholar who co-teach the course upon which this volume is based, address a growing need for increased philosophy of science content in evolving DNP programs, as well as practice-oriented research considerations for this discipline.\u003c/P\u003e\u003cP\u003eThe volume presents a creative use of the social, political, and historical content in which nursing has evolved. As a whole, this extremely important text reassures the student of the fluid and palpable connections between philosophy of science and nursing science and practice.\u003c/P\u003e\u003cB\u003eKey Features:\u003c/B\u003e \u003cP\u003e\u003cUL\u003e\u003cLI\u003eExplores the concept of nursing as a practice profession and assesses how much philosophy of science is needed for doctoral nursing students. \u003cLI\u003eExamines the practical application of the philosophy of science to both DNP and PhD students. \u003cLI\u003eAddresses the basic principles and concepts of the philosophy of science and their practical application for contemporary practice inquiry. \u003cLI\u003eProvides an overview of the century-long path to the development of nursing science that is an essential \"bridge\" to the philosophy of science content and serves as a \"next step\" towards building a nursing epistemology \u003cLI\u003eReinforces important connections between the philosophy of science to nursing science and nursing practice.\u003c/LI\u003e\u003c/UL\u003e
