title: [Concept dimension for nursing and Deleuze].
abstract: The study aimed at identifying and analyzing the meaning of concept according to Deleuze, in Philosophy, and Rodgers, in Nursing. Based on an extract of reality, Deleuze creates the concept and calls it "plan of immanence". For Rodgers, in nursing, the concept emerges at the actual moment one wishes to construct the conceptual bases for Nursing. The authors demonstrate that, although Deleuze and Rodgers come from different areas, the meaning they attribute to concept shares the happening of things and beings, which reflect the experienced reality. For Rodgers, the concept is characterized by its essential elements while, for Deleuze, by what he called components, that is, by essence.
