[Nursing: a profession, a discipline, a science].
The debates which drive the nursing profession often put forward the notions of profession, discipline and science to qualify nursing. It is advisable to clarify each of these concepts, as well as to highlight the importance of structuring them in order for nurses to be able to assume as best as possible the role entrusted to them within society.
