Willingness and its relevance to nursing.
Nursing practice is embedded in contexts that inhibit or constrain emancipatory relationships.

Opportunities for emancipative choice are possible only when nurses are willing to engage in critical reflection, authentic discourses, and risk congruent action within the constraints of dominant paradigms.
