As guided by the concept analysis framework of Avant and Walker (2011), an attempt is made to gain better understanding of the constituent properties of caring. The Theory of Human Caring developed by Jean Watson is used toward guiding innovative representations of caring and healing practices in assorted settings. Actual caring occasion arises when the nurse and another come collected in such a way a joining is made at the spiritual level; consequently the moment transcends time and space, opening up new possibilities for healing and human connection at a deeper level than that of physical interaction (Parker & Smith, 2010).…
The nurses would have increased independence, job satisfaction, and be accountable for valuable contributions, by providing high-quality care. In addition to nursing practice and education, solid leadership skills are necessary to understand the vision of a transformed health care system. Even though community doesn’t perceive nurses as leaders, all nurses should be prepared with strong leadership skills to design, implement, and evaluate the ongoing reformed health system. “The IOM report recommends that nurses play such leadership roles, are vital to advance a meaningful, effective, and sustainable quality health system (Porter- O’Grady,…

As required by the transformation and implementation provisions, the reforms in the health system demand that nurses must assume leadership capacities together with high-level corporative skills at any given time while on duty. Therefore, this paper is a presentation of different current debates on various perspectives of the need for…
Leadership is the key element of the nursing profession. Every nurse performs leadership role while caring for their patients, such as providing a continuum of care, advocate for them, and educate them and the family. All these tasks need authoritative, directive, and compassionate personality. I believed that I practice Path-goal theory and Transformational leadership. The reason I choose Path-goal theory is that I believe in accomplishing goals by motivating the team and recognizing their work efforts. Furthermore, the followers need to have clear goals by coaching and directing them as well as be able to fall back on the leader to overcome the obstacles. I also believe that I fit into the transformational leadership…
Jean Watson began her theory of human caring in 1979 and over the years, she has been revising her theory to provide more specific explanations of her concepts and philosophy.

This paper exhibits human caring as it relates to the patient -nurse interaction in a caring moment. Caring moments are relational, reciprocal and the patient is the focus of the nurse’s thoughts and actions.…
