solved. You are working with Janice who has been practicing nursing for over 30 years. Over lunch you discuss the topic of the history of nursing, and she becomes very sad and says, “You know, the heart of nursing has been lost.” She says that caring is absent in nursing today, and she believes caring is central to the concept of nursing and a professional ideal.
What can you say about “caring” throughout the history of nursing?
Is caring an art at odds with working conditions of nurses today?
In your own words, what does “caring” mean?
