Should Nurses Be Studying Bioscience? A Discussion Paper.

Jordan, Sue

Nurse Education Today, v14 n6 p417-26 Dec 1994

Nursing education and theory lean toward behavioral sciences, but practice focuses on biomedical problems. Bioscience should be reintroduced to nursing theory through reflective practice. This may also rectify the symbol-object dichotomy in natural sciences, which inhabits the relationship of theory and practice. (SK)
