Welcome

Mission & Purpose

Colleagues of Dr. King in Michigan began the King International Nursing Group (K.I.N.G.) to bring together individuals who are interested in advancing King’s conceptual systems framework and related theories. We believe it is important to preserve and promote King’s work for its role in knowledge development for research, education, administration and practice. 

Regardless of your location or practice, we encourage you to join the K.I.N.G. and become active within the organization. In April, we had an informative and stimulating educational conference in  Bozeman, Montana.  Jaqueline Fawcett’s  key-note address was “Evidence-Based Practice and Nursing Theory: Imogene King's Contributions to Advancement of Evidence-Based Nursing Practice.” In addition there were 8 concurrent session sspeakers and a symposium of current research by Patricia Messmer.  PowerPoint and lecture materials are on the Members only web site.

The Education Committee is busy planning for the next conference.  You will want to watch for location and topic.

 We hope that you will visit this website frequently for information, suggestions and networking. Please feel free to share the link to the home page with your colleagues. If you have suggestions for how we might improve the web page, please do not hesitate to contact us.
