It is critical to integrate all of nursing’s knowledge, skills, and abilities into a cohesive whole that transitions nurses from task completers to overall displays of compassion and caring.

Thinking of nursing as a job of caring and making a difference, as well as the work of giving medications on time, checking an X-ray to see if the doctor needs to be called, or taking an admission at 2:00 a.m. with a smile on our faces, reminds us of the sum total of nursing work.
