Abstract
In this article, the author specifies the ontological, epistemological, and methodological differences among selected borrowed qualitative research methods and the three extant nursing research methods. A further distinction is made between nursing knowledge per se and general knowledge that can be used by nurses. Building nursing knowledge requires a connection with extant nursing theories and frameworks.Keywords
