Thoughts about the Name of Our Discipline
Abstract
This essay addresses the name of our discipline. Discussion of the use of the term, nursology, focuses on the origin of the term, its use as a name for our discipline and its use as a research method and a practice methodology. Advantages and disadvantages of nursology as the name for our discipline are gleaned from PhD program students' responses to a question posed by Reed (1997).
Keywords: discipline; metaparadigm; nursing; nursology.
