• Resumen

  • The value of being a part of a network of theoretically like-minded individuals for a small group of nurse scholars, namely Richard Cowling, Howard Butcher and William Cody, is here discussed. The like-mindedness in this case is what has been described by some as an angular view of nursing or the simultaneity paradigm. An underlying theme is that joy-sorrow often arises in living the isolation and connectedness of a career in nursing that includes a commitment to scholarship.
