Students will examine concepts and theories related to nursing science and practice, health and well-being.

They will explore the process of concept development and synthesis and the genesis of theory development. Students will examine the central tenets of Indigenous traditional knowledge and compare them to the ontology, epistemology, and methodology of theory development in western knowledge.
