A unitary view of the human as a unique, valued, and precious person in and of himself-or herself to be cared for, respected, nurtured, understood and assisted; in general, a philosophical view of a person as a whole person, honoring the unity of mind-body-spirit, continuous with the larger environmental field, the planet Earth,and the cosmos infinite field of life itself. ...[Florence] Nightingale indicated the care for the body can never be separate from the care of the soul. This view of humanity honors the fact that we each belong and relate to the broader infinite field of life itself: the great mystery, the great void, the source of life , the energy-spirit-consciousness-cosmic love, which is greater than any person. Dr. Jean Watson, Human Caring Science: A Theory of Nursing

All worked out well. Professor was very understanding!

I'll be speaking with her. No letters or emails. Thank you, for your comment. Humility is what will connect us as humans. It's just hard and I'm being a baby haha

I'm writing this because I'm feeling anxious about asking my professors to write a letter of recommendation for me to send to the BON. In 2016, I made a mistake when I decided to drive after drinking. I was arrested and charged with a DUI. I fully own my thoughtless actions and I understand I put many lives at risk, including my own. I had to reevaluate my coping mechanisms of stress. Now I am faced with another test of character-being vulnerable and honest about my mistakes. I'm so very afraid my of judgement and rejection. I know that my professor thinks highly of me yet my fears of inadequacy and shame are overwhelming. I am taking a lot of deep breaths and practicing meditation with lovingkindness mantras directed toward myself. Still, I am so anxious! Has anyone had to do this before? if so, what advice can you lend as to what I should say as i speak with my professor, and share the reason for the letter?
