Boundaries and the culture of theorizing in nursing.
In this dialogue we direct attention to the way in which each of us (including you the reader) is a knowing practitioner, examining how our ontologies and the cultures we live and create are (and are not) shaping theorizing and ultimately family nursing practice. Questions we explore include: How might closer attention to ontology enhance theorizing in family nursing and healthcare? How might we enlist boundaries and differences as potential lines of joining? How might we engage in theorizing as a unitary act--living the values and ideals we espouse and aspire toward?
