About Caring Science<\/h2>\n

Caring Science connects the nurse, patient, family, and health care team members by elevating caring consciousness and valuing authentic caring human relationships, honoring the very humanity of the patient, family, and others.<\/p>\n

This intentional transformative connection is where healing and well-being occur for the patient and the care provider. Nurses flourish and achieve their higher purpose when experiencing transpersonal caring moments within the context of transforming their nursing practice from knowing and doing to being and continually becoming the caring healing environment. Nursing care from this ethical foundation connects us to our professional practice commitment to delivering high-quality, safe patient care that positively influences the patient\u2019s healing, care experience, and optimal clinical outcomes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”slideInRight” full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” full_height=”yes” remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” columns_right=”yes” el_class=”header-imagebg header-imagebg-rt” css=”.vc_custom_1701795351320{background-image: url(https:\/\/scholarsacademy.kaiserpermanente.org\/caringscience\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/10\/184342766_Getty_RF_HiRes.jpg?id=227) !important;}” visibility=”hidden”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”slideInUp” width=”1\/2″][vc_row_inner remove_bottom_col_margin=”true”][vc_column_inner el_class=”boxed”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”fadeIn” full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”top” column_spacing=”60″ el_class=”bg-mid-blue” css=”.vc_custom_1701795359351{padding-top: 60px !important;}” el_id=”mission”][vc_column css_animation=”slideInLeft” width=”1\/3″ el_class=”bg-dark”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=”323″ add_caption=”yes” el_class=”bg-dark-photo”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”slideInRight” width=”2\/3″][vc_row_inner remove_bottom_col_margin=”true”][vc_column_inner el_class=”boxed”][vc_column_text]\n
