The learner will explore the theoretical evolution of the discipline of nursing and engage in interpreting the scholarship of discovery, integration, teaching, as well as other ways of knowing, to inform nursing research and practice. An emphasis is on competencies of knowledge, critical inquiry, direct and indirect practice, professionalism, communication, and collaboration.
