Abstract

This edited transcript of an electronic mail generated discussion by William K. Cody presents Dr. Cody's ideas about nursing theory, nursing practice, and the relation between theory and practice. Dr. Cody asserts that theory, in some form, is a fundamental guide for all professional practice. He posits that if nursing theory is not the basis for one's practice, then nursing theory is extremely unlikely to arise from that practice. Reflecting on the historical vicissitudes of nursing theory-guided practice, Dr. Cody proposes that the nursing theory-guided practice movement constitutes an unfinished revolution that may yet transform healthcare for the betterment of humankind.
