title: Envisioning nursing in 2050 through the eyes of nurse theorists: Rosemarie Rizzo Parse and Martha E. Rogers.
abstract: Rosemarie Rizzo Parse and Rogerian scholar, Violet Malinski, on behalf of Martha E. Rogers, envision how their respective theoretical ideas will be expressed in 2050. Parse introduces several changes highlighting the idea of indivisible cocreation in the ontology of the humanbecoming school of thought and concomitant changes in the wording of its principles. Notions of human freedom and dignity will be extremely important given increasingly mechanized healthcare. Malinski describes Rogerian formulations for practice and research that will continue to facilitate well-being for humankind and the environment. She also addresses challenges and opportunities for an evolving science of unitary human beings.
