Nursing: The Philosophy and Science of Caring, Revised Edition

Very well written and in depth.

Jean Watson is not only a top Nursing Theorist but her writing illuminates the way forward for humanity as well through caring about each other as individuals and uniting our cultures in love and caring as a whole. This being a seminal work on Nursing as Caring has an updated version of her brilliant thesis. Her steps are now Caritas processes and can be utilised to guide everyday nursing in any domain. Palliative Nurses would be able to glean plenty from Jean's amazing work which lives on internationally

Jean Watson has really articulated what nursing is about. She describes her theory of caring very clearly. She has reawakened my passion for nursing. She really challenges nurses to reflect on their individual interactions with patient. This is an excellent reminder in this time of overly managed care, where there is so much pressure to accomplish tasks and forget about "caring" for the patient. I do not agree with the more New Age aspects of the theory, but the main premise, which is "caring" is very powerful. Jean Watson is a treasure.

Although at times this book is a little difficult to read (science and PHD); it is an excellent testimony to our profession as nurses. I've often been asked, "what is is that you do as a nurse?" Through this book, Jean has been able to help me answer this question. She also helped me remember why I became a nurse in the first place-to share a caring moment and touch a life. Thank you, Jean Watson!

This is a great book for those who are interested in looking at the caring side of nursing. We are so caught up in the science, that sometimes people forget that they are taking care of human beings. I would recommend this book to anyone that is a nurse or is thinking about becoming a nurse, and even for any health care practitioner. Jean Watson is amazing, her philosophies can be applied to your every day life. And it also causes the practitioner to focus on their own life, which is very key in being a successful practitioner.

The book arrived as projected for delivery, clean and brand new.I have not read the book, so, I cannot comment on its content.

This is my favorite book by Dr. Watson. I have read it many times and continue to learn and deepen my own nursing practice. I highly recommend this book over all others. Whether you've been a nurse for 4 years or 40 years, you'll be surprised at what you'll learn.

It is refreshing to read The Philosophy and Science of Caring. Caring is central to nursing and frequently in the nursing literature. Watson has revised and expanded her Caring Science and Philosophy, offering new insights,science and exemplars. This book is useful for all nurses,scholars, practitioners and educators. It should be required reading for nursing regardless of practice venue. Bravo, Jean!

I bought this book to help me find my joy of nursing. I love this book and the way nursing should always be. This was my theory throughout my learning for my nursing degree. Glad to refresh myself again why I love being a nurse.

I am very happy to have this book to look through and have to enhance and provide the best nursing care i can... Jean Watson is an incredible woman and this is a great book!!

My nursing program required that we use a theorist for most of our papers and Jean was the one for me. Book makes the theory easy to understand and apply to your nursing practice.
