The requisite theoretical base of nursing administration has been defined as a synthesis of knowledge from nursing and other disciplines. The purpose of this paper is to explore the contribution made by nursing knowledge to the distinctive epistemology of nursing administration. The value of nursing theory to administration practice is articulated as well as levels of theory development and their relationship to the knowledge base of nursing administration practice.
