Meaningful Nursing Research

Kerry A. Kroeker

University of Missouri Columbia, Sinclair School of Nursing, Columbia, Missouri

Dr. Fawcett’s editorial (Western Journal of Nursing Research, August 2000), staunchly criticizes research journals and researchers for their lack of attentiveness to nursing discipline-specific knowledge. She suggests that this lack of attentiveness posits nursing for extinction; in doing so, she raises fundamental questions about the relationship between nursing and nursing science. Despite a plethora of nursing literature, professional nursing remains an intangible concept for many nurses. The author addresses this issue from the perspective of her sense of self as a nurse.
