The Way of Nursing: Leading Disruptive Change for All

Conceptual frameworks in nursing help shape the thinking and behavior of nursing practice. They also facilitate understanding about nursing’s unique contributions that complement the way of medicine. Current health crises illuminate the need for disruptive change, and consequently the need for new conceptual frameworks to guide disruptive practice. The Way of Nursing conceptual framework moves nursing beyond the nursing metaparadigm and the nursing process toward the necessary thinking to address the complex health challenges of individual patients, families, communities, and the planet. The Way of Nursing affirms nurses’ capacity to lead change and disrupt systems for the benefit of all.
