My first reaction would be that a nursing theory would be accepted once it has been seen to work where it matters. Nurses tend to be very practical people and something really helpful and effective would be welcomed. I trained in 1978 and the advent of highly technical machinery has changed a lot of nursing practice.
This new technology may give rise to crises of conscience. Ever tinier prem babies can be resuscitated and helped to survive in special care units, but is intervention always wise? Is it ethical and moral to put someone on the Liverpool Pathway?
Nurses are real people, and are at the sharp end of life and death. That is where nursing theory needs to be readily translatable to real life with all of its complex issues.
I would be very interested to read other nurses thoughts on this, and I hope nobody will take this answer as definitive.
Imogene King's most famous theories of nursing are called "interacting systems" and "goal attainment." Her theories are still taught to nursing students.

Nursing theories provide a framework for nursing practice, guiding decision-making and interventions. They help nurses understand patient behavior, make accurate assessments, and plan appropriate care. By incorporating nursing theories into clinical practice, nurses can provide more comprehensive, evidence-based, and patient-centered care.
Some nursing theories commonly used in the Philippines include the Theory of Multicultural Nursing (Li & Trossman, 2002) and the Socio-Eco Theory of Nursing (Maglaya, 2009). These theories focus on providing culturally competent care and addressing the social determinants of health in the Philippine context.

Yes, typically that is the appropriate path.
Nursing theories provide a foundational framework that guides research by offering concepts and propositions that inform the development of studies and interventions. They help researchers identify key variables and relationships to investigate, thus shaping research questions and methodologies. Additionally, nursing theories promote consistency in practice and enhance the rigor and relevance of nursing research, ultimately contributing to evidence-based practice and improved patient outcomes. By grounding research in theoretical frameworks, nursing theories facilitate the advancement of the discipline and the generation of new knowledge.
Fact supported theories and not guesses, but reliable accounts of the real world. Most theories accepted by scientists have been repeatedly tested by experiments and thus can be used to make predictions, which are then most likely to be true
No, not all theories are accepted or rejected. The acceptance or rejection of a theory depends on the evidence supporting it, how well it explains a phenomenon, and its ability to make accurate predictions. Some theories are widely accepted, while others may be rejected or revised based on new evidence or alternative explanations.
if the theory provides support to the main point or provide a link on the research going on then it is accepted
