Nursing science is developed through the work of nurse scientists and theorists who describe and explain what nursing is and what nurses do. Important to the development of nursing science are the foundational structures of nursing:
• The metaparadigm of nursing
• Nursing metatheory and nursing philosophies
• Nursing theories, which range from all-encompassing conceptual frameworks and macro grand theories to micro level theories used in practice.
Conceptual frameworks and grand theories of nursing, which are more abstract, give the disciple a unique perspective of the metaparadigm concepts and provide a path for more concrete theory development.
