| Zusammenfassung: | A nurse casting about for a way to fulfill the continuing education requirements in the state if Michigan in 1996 could attend workshops that promised to teach how to sense angelic presence, understand the human aura, and contact people who have passed over. Ironically, the acceptance of techniques steeped in mysticism has coincided with another movement within the profession toward enhancing the scientific foundation and orientation of nursing practice. Nurses searching for professional distinctiveness have plugged into a philosophical tradition that declares there is no absolute truth. In setting science against humanism, nurse-theorists seem to have forgotten that there is still an important biological component in nursing. |
