Nursing theory is not that old. Other than Florence Nightingale’s Notes on Nursing in 1860, nursing theories only started to be developed in the 1950s. So was nursing atheoretical until then? No. Nurses “borrowed” theories from other disciplines to inform nursing practice. Nurses borrowed theories from psychology, physiology, sociology, medicine, physics, and organizational systems, for example, and then used those concepts and frameworks to develop theories specific to nursing practice. In this post, I discuss the history of borrowed or shared theories in nursing and identify common theories used to inform and guide nursing practice, education, and research. **This post was proofread by Grammarly
