Fast-paced development of society and increasing needs for healthcare services call for a discussion on knowledge in nursing which could help meet these new demands. This leading article further develops some topics previously touched on in the leading article Professionalism in nursing: what is its current level in Slovenia (Skela-Savič, 2016a), adding new evidence from the project Nursing as a scientific discipline in Slovenia (Skela-Savič, et al., 2017a).
