An invitation for all nurses to re-engage with the passion and commitment that originally inspired them! ...represents an act of passion for the profession, a window to a personal journey, and an invitation to view the nursing profession's contribution to healing in a Jungian context....The work's value comes from its integration of scientific, creative, and spiritual philosophies as a core context for the complex nurse-patient interaction involved in the promotion of a healing environment....Recommended."--Choice Nursing is at a crossroads, facing shortages of unparalleled proportion at a time when society is experiencing health care challenges of great magnitude. At the center of professional nursing lies the authentic presence of the nurse, the intention and commitment that brings nurses to the profession in the first place. When there is congruence between who nurses are and what they do, nurses bring their souls to work. This balance is experienced as a healing presence that encourages the patient's self-healing capacity. Throughout this book, JoEllen Koerner explores ways--scientific, creative, and spiritual--of understanding the power and impact of this "healing presence" on both the caregiver and those receiving care. Wisdom from the field is presented in a series of reflections from multiple areas of practice. For all nurses and nursing students, the book offers practical application strategies for integrating the nursing process with the nurse's presence and a framework for personal and professional development.

The lived experience of caring-presence phenomenon may have meaning for nursing faculty and nursing students, but is not sufficiently researched in the discipline of nursing. This hermeneutic phenomenological qualitative study is designed to understand the lived experience of caring presence within the context of the nursing faculty and nursing student relationship. Nine full time tenure track nursing faculty and six full time clinical nursing students participated, by means of in-depth interviews describing the meaning of caring presence within a nursing faculty-nursing student relationship. The van Manen phenomenological approach was used as the applied methodology for interpretation and reflection of the findings for this study. The findings of the study reveal caring-presence is a distinct phenomenon with five interconnected essential themes that illuminate the experience. Paterson and Zderad's Humanistic Nursing Theory and Jean Watson's Transpersonal Caring Relationship were used as a framework to reflect upon the findings. The research findings have implications for continued research in the development of caring-presence as a concept and as a phenomenon. The implications for nursing education include development of pedagogical approaches, teaching and learning strategies, and caring science curriculum development based upon the caring-presence relationship of nursing faculty and nursing students. The caring-presence relationship between nursing faculty and nursing students transforms both the faculty and the student.
