“Discovery of Connections — Societal Needs, Nursing Practice, and Caring-Healing Theory: My Story”

My story reflects not an uncommon journey through nursing education and practice. It reflects the hope inspired by the theory of caring and the healing of a wounded healer. Nursing practice is caught between the science of nursing and the overarching medicalization of healthcare creating tensions within nursing’s discipline, science, and practice. Society’s current health needs and demands are rapidly changing. Understanding these contextual forces brings nursing to a new territory for the sake of society’s health and for the preservation of nursing’s domain. Watson’s caring-healing theory responds to society’s healing needs, reflects nursing’s core simplicity, and gives us hope.
