Concept analysis can be done on various levels. Your question does not make it clear what kind and level of conceptual models you are looking for.
There are many nursing visions and theories, starting with Notes on Nursing from Florence Nightingale two centuries ago. Fawcett is still an excellent resource to accommodate an analysis of nursing theories, but as always, this part of science will have evolved.
Fawcett, J. (1989). Analysis and evaluation of Conceptual Models of Nursing. Philadelphia, F.A. Davis Company.
Another approach is how to analyse concepts in the real world in order to properly define them for use in nursing.
Good work for this is Walker LO Avant KC (1988). Strategies for Theory Construction in Nursing. 2nd edition. Norwalk/ San Mateo, Appleton & Lange.
This has chapters about clarification of concepts based on analysis on meanings, use, and related.
Further, if you want to analyse typical concepts for nursing as nursing diagnosis, interventions and outcomes. Work on this stems from the EU project Telenursing and Telenurse and ICN's ICNP. See for instance the books by Mortensen and Haase-Nielsen (IOS press). One interesting work based on that is the current ISO 18104:2023 Health informatics — Categorial structures for representation of nursing practice in terminological systems, https://www.iso.org/standard/81132.html
which is the x revision of
CEN TC 251 (2000). Health informatics, systems of concepts to support nursing prENV 14032.
And there is more of course...
Rodgers BL. Concepts, analysis and the development of nursing knowledge: the evolutionary cycle. J Adv Nurs. 1989;14(4):330-335.
Rodgers recommends that you do like this in 7 steps:
The phases of concept analysis are to
1 identify and name the concept of interest;
2 identify the surrogate terms and relevant uses of the concept;
3 select an appropriate realm (sample) for data collection;
4 recognize attributes of the concept;
5 ascertain the references, antecedents, and consequences of the concept, if possible;
6 identify concepts related to the concept of interest; and
7 generate a model case of the concept.
