Transforming visions for nursing in the timeworld of Einstein's Dreams.
Einstein's Dreams is a fictional account of the various timeworlds Einstein imagined in his early theorizing. Possible futures for nursing are examined from the perspective of these various timeworlds, in relation to present concerns for nursing's viability and evolution. These concerns include distance from the heart of nursing, unarticulated working conceptions of nursing, and methods of inquiry and practice that are not congruent with nursing's values. Time warp conditions frame the analysis of the impact of these concerns, and new visions are offered.
