Wisdom in Nursing Practice.

This column on practice applications focuses on wisdom and the critical nature wisdom serves within the nursing discipline. Wisdom conveys an awareness, judgement, and a diligent engagement with important persons, ideas, and others; therefore, wisdom has implications for nursing in the areas of practice, education, leadership, and research. Even broader and more importantly, wisdom connects to nursing's theoretical conceptualizations and informs the why and value of the nursing discipline.
