Abstract

Nursing science, the base of knowledge underlying human behavior and social interaction, under normal and stressful conditions, across the life span, is distinguished from its inquiry (research). Inquiry and, especially, methodology have been afforded greater attention than science. The requirements for increased science are noted: communality, colleagueship, and competition among scientists and continuity and confirmation of scientific activity and evidence.
