Description
It is critical to synthesize all of the knowledge, skills, and abilities of nursing into an integrated
whole that moves nurses from task completers to an overall demonstration of compassion and
caring.
Thinking of nursing first 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 synthesized whole of
nursing work.
