Abstract
The practice of nurses has been formed and informed by many disciplinary discourses. We argue that this leads to the subjugation and colonization of nurses' practices and the discipline. By debating and challenging current development in knowledge the opportunity is created for nurses to reform representations of our practices in a way that can privilege diversity, complexity and ambiguity. In particular, modernism and postmodernism are critiqued to highlight the impact of particular philosophical traditions on the practices of nurses.
