Abstract
Nursing has long struggled to define itself as a science with a theoretical base of knowledge and to thus unquestionably establish itself as a profession. It has struggled for this recognition from other health care professionals, from the health care industry, and from the consumers of health care. In the past, it has succeeded in gaining recognition as the comforters and care givers to the sick. Now, nursing justly seeks recognition for the sound skill and expert knowledge that goes into the individualized planning, delivery, and evaluation of patient care.
