title: Biosciences on the margin.
abstract: As nursing has striven to acquire professional autonomy, the biological sciences have been marginalized in the teaching and practice of nursing. The authors of this article argue that with the expected expansion of nursing roles--including nurse prescribing--the need to consider the place of the biosciences in nursing has become more acute.
