Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to explore the role of Basic sciences in the development of nurses. Since the profession has moved into higher education, diversity has developed in the amount, depth and methods of science teaching in nursing and midwifery courses. It has been observed that nurse educators themselves are concerned about the difficulty of linking the study of basic sciences directly to nursing theory and practice. In this paper it is discussed that one needs to see closely the contributions of the basic sciences to nursing education.
