Make a case for Bender on models being an appropriate structure for nursing knowledge and conceivably comprise a more robust and actionable structure than theory. Models constitute and are constitutive of scientific knowledge. Models represent the dynamics, or mechanisms, of phenomena, yet are not deterministic or reductive. Models are uniquely capable of describing and explaining the dynamics of process and change in health/care, which arguably are the core phenomena of the nursing discipline. A nursing orientation towards models can produce a dynamic yet rigorous philosophical account of what nursing knowledge is and how it can be obtained This in turn can drive knowledge production that meaningfully impacts the nursing discipline specifically, and the healthcare field more generally, over time
