As part of a new job I've recently started, I have been brushing up on a form of nursing care pioneered by Jean Watson (who is a modern-day sort of Florence Nightingale).  Her foresight in developing a 'Caring Science' is used in hospitals throughout the country.  Unique in this approach is how important it is to embody an approach to caring, and the specificity that defines that embodiment.  For anyone interested in how to physically manifest compassion through action, I thought you might enjoy this overview of the Theory of Human Caring.
