Nursing as a scientific undertaking and the intersection with science in undergraduate studies: implications for nursing management
Journal of Nursing Management, 04/25/2011
Logan PA et al. – Competing philosophies that reinforce the science–nursing tension have an impact upon student endeavours yet the nexus created by practice can be used to activate student curiosity and scientific understanding. Nurse managers need to structure the student practicum to encompass scientific theory applied to practice with equal emphasis on task efficiency. This improves student attitudes to learning bioscience and potentially minimizes the impact of the science–nursing tension on student learning.
