Be Bold: Use Nursing Knowledge to Guide the Practice

Abstract

The imagination, bravery, and audacity that many nurses have shown throughout the history of our profession lead to the recognition of nursing as a discipline, profession, and science. For maintaining it, the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing —Sigma— (1) and other associated organizations promote the science-guided exercise of the practice through the creation and transfer of knowledge, emphasizing the three elements that nurture, legitimize, consolidate, and guarantee disciplinary autonomy: theory, research, and practice. Sigma, in its presidential call 2022-2023, invited nurses to be bold and contribute to the development of nursing knowledge.
