Nursing as Caring: A Model for Transforming Practice

By Anne Boykin and Savina O'Bryan Schoenhofer

Nursing as Caring: A Model for Transforming Practice presents a profound and transformative approach to nursing, emphasizing care as the fundamental core of the profession. Developed by Anne Boykin and Savina O'Bryan Schoenhofer, this influential model redefines nursing as a discipline rooted in human connection, respect, and shared values, shifting the focus from tasks and procedures to authentic caring relationships.

The authors describe caring as an innate human quality and position nursing as the professional expression of that caring in practical, meaningful ways. Through philosophical grounding, theoretical explanation, and real-world applications, the book demonstrates how nurses can create healing environments, honor personhood, and cultivate deeper patient-nurse partnerships.

This essential work is widely embraced in nursing education and practice for its clarity, depth, and human-centered perspective. Ideal for nursing students, educators, practitioners, and leaders seeking a more compassionate, holistic, and person-focused model of care, Nursing as Caring offers an inspiring vision for the future of the nursing profession.
