Schoenhofer Caring is one of the first words that comes to mind when talking about the practice of nursing. Caring is an essential value in the personal and professional lives of nurses. However, the formal recognition of caring in nursing as an area of study is relatively new. Nursing As Caring sets forth a different order of nursing theory. This new nursing theory is personal, not abstract. The focus of the Nursing As Caring theory is not toward an end product such as health or wellness; it is about a unique way of nurses living caring in the world. This theory provides a view that can be lived in all nursing situations and can be practiced alone or in combination with other theories. This is perhaps the most basic, bedrock, and therefore radical, of nursing theories and is essential to all that is truly nursing.
