Nursing in New Zealand has undergone a rapid rise of postgraduate scholarly development over the past four decades. Early nurse scholars had no choice but to study university papers outside the discipline of nursing. Their reflections show how much their thinking was sparked by such experiences. On the other hand, the excitement of nursing finding its own body of knowledge and moving into research is also recalled. Hermeneutic analysis of these two aspects encourages 'thinking' of how postgraduate education gets shaped. The discussion draws on Heidegger's notion that it is the void of the jug that holds the fluid - what goes into the jug itself (postgraduate learning) is often discretionary.
在过去的四十年里,新西兰的护理研究生学术发展迅速崛起。早期的护士学者别无选择,只能学习护理学学科以外的大学课程。他们的反思表明,这些经历极大地激发了他们的思考。另一方面,人们也回忆起护理学科拥有自身知识体系并迈向研究领域时的那种兴奋之情。对这两个方面进行诠释学分析,有助于思考研究生教育是如何形成的。该讨论借鉴了海德格尔的观点,即罐子的空无容纳了液体——进入罐子本身的东西(研究生学习)往往是随意的。
