Postmodern nurses and assorted other healthcare metaphysicians in the U.S. tend to misrepresent magic as scientific, because without the trappings of science, ritualistic magic that lacks mainstream religious approval generally does not play in American healthcare. According to SUHB, the world is organized into irreducible fields, and each human and the environment constitute two such fields, which interact continuously and are mentally perceptible. No objective observation of these alleged fields, nor of the irreducible fields that Rogers posited, has ever been published in any notable scientific journal. Furthermore, they are inconsistent with what is known in science. Neither Caring Science nor SUHB qualifies as a body of scientific knowledge.
Theories are the goals of science.
In the scientific domain, a theory is a well substantiated, comprehensive, predictive explanation, generally approved in the scientific community, though not final, of a phenomenon or set of data. Because there is much dissonance among such putative explanations, each cannot be well substantiated. Indeed, all of those cited above are not much more than abstractions of little use to nurses working in healthcare facilities. Moreover, their use can conduce to spending time pointlessly. By making scientific principles subordinate to their ideals, such academics put nurses at risk legally and patients at risk medically.
