Nurse education has to confront the problem of developing in students an understanding of the different perspectives put forward in nursing. However, all the perspectives adhere to the scientific method and it is therefore necessary to examine the process of scientific inquiry. As nursing occupies a position at the interface between physical and social sciences, it is also necessary to offer students an examination of the different paradigms which exist within the social sciences.
