  1. Can Caring Be Taught??? Keith Rischer RN, MA, CEN, CCRN

  2. Nursing’s Historical Legacy of Caring “The spirit in which she does her work makes all the difference. Invested as she should with the dignity of her profession and the cloak of love for suffering humanity, she can ennoble anything her hand may be called upon to do, and for work done in this spirit there will ever come to her a recompense far outweighing that of silver and gold….

  3. Caring Defined… “Swanson defines…“Caring is a nurturing way of relating to a valued other toward whom one feels a personal sense of commitment and responsibility”

  4. “Practicing in a caring manner leads to the nurse’s well being, both personally and professionally. Personal outcomes of caring include feeling important, accomplished, and whole. Professionally practicing caring leads to enhanced intuition, empathy, clinical judgment and work satisfaction.” Kristen Swanson RN, PhD, FAAN

  5. How This Caring Theory Came to be… • I. 20 women who miscarried • “What constituted caring in the instance of miscarriage?” • II. 19 careproviders in the NICU • “What is it like to be provider of care in the NICU” • III. 8 high risk young mothers who received LT public health nursing intervention • “How did you recall and describe your nurse-patient relationship after intervention?”
