Discipline of Nursing: Three-time Knowledge, 1st Edition, examines the historical and epistemological foundations of nursing. The volume investigates the roots of care practices to clarify the nature of nursing services and address persistent myths and misrepresentations about the profession's background.

The text organizes the evolution of nursing knowledge into three chronological phases: lay knowledge, protodisciplinary knowledge, and scientific knowledge. It explores early hospital settings, domestic care, and the gradual transition of training into educational institutions.

A central feature compares the nineteenth-century training models developed by Florence Nightingale in Great Britain and Valérie de Gasparin-Boissier in Switzerland.
