Welcome
UC Irvine Center for Nursing Philosophy (CNP) aims to provide a platform for increased nursing philosophy scholarship development and dissemination, as well as wider engagement with the local, national, and international philosophy community to identify new foci for inquiry and advancement.
The CNP aligns with the mission and strategic vision for the Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing. Philosophical and theoretical foundations in nursing are listed as a key area of focus for the School, with existing faculty already contributing to philosophical scholarship in critical areas such as evidence-based practice, philosophy of science, and nursing metaphysics.
