Nursing by Jean Watson
Jean Watson's first edition of Nursing, now considered a classic, introduced the science of human caring and quickly became one of the most widely used and respected sources of conceptual models for nursing. This completely new edition offers a contemporary update and the most current perspectives on the evolution of the original philosophy and science of caring from the field's founding scholar.
"Nursing pioneered a human caring focus in nursingThe book is foundational for caring practice and so provides an accessible and informative resource, both for nurses in clinical practice and for students studying human caring at undergraduate and graduate levels." —Adeline Falk-Rafael, RN, PhD, Professor and Associate Director, York University School of Nursing

"Nursing, The Philosophy and Science of Caring is a positive, upbeat, depiction of what nursing should be. The poetry and artwork not only add to the text, but incorporate art with science, much as Watson called for in nursing education. The book will be useful for the numerous healthcare settings who are using Watson's (2008) theory of caring as the theoretical guide in delivering healthcare education." —Sandra Schmidt Bunkers, RN; PhD; FAAN, Nursing Science Quarterly
