As a science,nursing must be based on the principles of evidence-based scientific research that guides nursing practice.Nursing is not simply knowledge of past experiences or the medical model of health care or based on principles of biology and medicine.Although some knowledge from past experience is incorporated into the body of nursing knowledge,the important part of nursing as a science is that it is based on sound scientific research (evidence-based practice).
