Abstract

Nurses make constant decisions and, therefore, use learning and knowledge all the time. This study aimed to analyze the possibilities of application of the theories known as “experiential learning” and “knowledge creation” in the professional practice of nurses. This is a reflective study on the application of the two theories in nursing practice, recognizing their specificities and similarities. It was observed that the theory of experiential learning refers to individual modes of acquisition of knowledge and the theory of knowledge creation relates to how meanings are created and how knowledge is built within organizations. Although specific to certain situations, they have similarities and both are useful to the professional nursing practice. Thus, results led to the conclusion that the understanding of the principles inherent in theories may favor the exchange of experiences and promote innovation and improvement of the practice of nursing care.
