Abstract:
Living out unique knowledge in nursing arises out of the discipline's extant and emerging theoretical perspectives. These perspectives guide nurses in their approaches to various research, teaching, practice, and leadership situations. These situations, although different, have a common focus on persons and their lives. So, it is interesting to think about the ways in which nurses listen or coparticipate in listening to understand what is important within the lives of persons, as they live their unique values and beliefs.
