Poetic Nursing: the Nurse's HEART

Building Bridges of Trust

In this episode, we explore the development of helping and trusting relationships in nursing practice. Drawing on Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring and Caritas #4, we discuss how nurses can build "bridges of caring" that foster meaningful connections with patients, colleagues, and themselves. By embracing empathy, vulnerability, and authenticity, nurses foster environments that promote healing and growth. This episode highlights practical strategies for nurturing these connections and leading with kindness, reinforcing the profound impact that caring can have in both personal and professional settings.
