title: [Patterns of knowledge in nursing and their implications in teaching].
abstract: The paper presents nursing as a discipline that is still setting its boundaries and that because of this has the need to define its own form of knowledge and how to produce and validate it. With this in mind, a brief literature review on knowledge patterns which are specific to nursing, as well as empirical, ethical, esthetical and personal patterns are presented. From the characterization of each one of these patterns, its implication in teaching is discussed, highlighting the need to privilege those forms of knowledge during the process of formal teaching-learning.
