Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

Nurse faculty face challenges in sharing the values and beliefs that make sense of the phenomena of nursing with their students. A focus on nursing theory is weakening. Insights are offered here from the unique perspective of the humanbecoming teaching-learning model (Parse, 2014) to guide nurse educators in promoting the integrity of nursing curriculum and providing nurses with the theoretical foundation to inform research, practice, and education.
