    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of nursing science paradigms.
    • Discussion of pedagogical implications for nursing curricula.
    • Exploration of power dynamics in theory development.

    Main Results:

    • Acceptance of a paradigm has direct consequences for nursing theory instruction.
    • Reconceptualizing the origin of nursing theories is a key outcome.
    • A potential shift in power from nurse teachers to practicing nurses is identified.

    Conclusions:

    • The paradigm chosen for nursing science impacts curriculum design.
    • Nurse teachers may need to adapt their role in theory development.
    • Empowering practicing nurses in theory derivation is a significant implication.
