Nursing, nursing theory, knowledge, professional practiceAbstract
The imagination, bravery, and audacity that many nurses have shown throughout the history of our profession lead to the recognition of nursing as a discipline, profession, and science. For maintaining it, the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing —Sigma— (1) and other associated organizations promote the science-guided exercise of the practice through the creation and transfer of knowledge, emphasizing the three elements that nurture, legitimize, consolidate, and guarantee disciplinary autonomy: theory, research, and practice. Sigma, in its presidential call 2022-2023, invited nurses to be bold and contribute to the development of nursing knowledge.
