Nursing as Caring: A Model for Transforming Practice

"Nursing as Caring: A Model for Transforming Practice" by Anne Boykin introduces a fresh perspective on nursing, highlighting caring as the core of the profession. The authors put forth a theory where nurses must recognize themselves as caring individuals to truly excel in their roles. It emphasizes the critical role of human connection and caring, viewing nursing not just as a series of tasks but as a deeply human interaction. They propose that each "nursing situation" is a shared journey between nurse and patient, with the shared goal of mutual growth and well-being. This transforms nursing into a nurturing practice, focused on helping individuals flourish through caring relationships.
