Thank you Papawjohn. It makes a useful alternative source when the refence on a subject is readily available online. :)

Hey Y'all

Ol' country fellow here that kinda likes to philosophise. Have a BA in LiberalArts from long ago era, but was one of those ADN grads who were taught to be "technical nurses". In fact, that suited me then and still suits me now. So never gave a "philosophy" of Nursing much thought. Recently used the analogy (in an email) "like expecting a WalMart sales clerk to take Economics 101".

But got interested in this thread (and a similar one about 'presentation' of a particular 'caring theory' and would pass on a couple of websites:

My contribution is that 'caring' is built into our DNA. Unescapable. When paleotologists dig the bones of our ancestors they use words like "hominoid" to describe them. Until they find the healed bones and permanent orthopedic injuries in those bones that indicate that one individual was 'nursed' back to health and/or 'nurtured' through life by others. Then they say "human".

I care therefore I am.
