• This paper suggests that (i) the dominance of an individualistic philosophy of nursing, (ii) nurses' own perceptions of their role and (iii) the hospital:community divide are all obstacles to health promotion being well integrated into nursing practice. • It explores how these obstacles need to be overcome in order for the new health promoting nurse to emerge in practice. • This is an attempt to clearly demonstrate ‘who’ the health promoting nurse is, ‘what’ she/he does, ‘how’ she/he works and ‘where’ she/he works.
