Abstract
In this essay, several nurse scholars who are particularly concerned about the contemporary state of nursing science present their concerns about the inclusion of nursing conceptual models and theories in the curricula of nursing programs (dark clouds) and ways in which the concerns have been addressed (bright lights). This essay is the second of two essays that were catalyzed by Barrett’s paper, “Again, What Is Nursing Science?” The first essay was published in the previous issue of Nursing Science Quarterly.
