Jean Watson’s Human Caring Theory best exemplifies how I envision my future nursing practice. Her framework emphasizes compassion, human connection, and treating patients as whole beings rather than focusing solely on their illnesses. This theory aligns closely with my professional identity, which is grounded in values, ethics, knowledge, and leadership. Watson’s emphasis on integrity, respect, and genuine presence mirrors the type of nurse I aspire to become, one who not only provides physical care but also emotional and spiritual support. Her Caritas Processes reinforce the importance of empathy and ethical responsibility, guiding nurses to maintain their professional identity even when faced with challenges such as unclear roles or lack of recognition. By following Watson’s theory, I aim to cultivate meaningful nurse-patient relationships, advocate for my patients’ rights, and continue growing through lifelong learning and reflection, ensuring that my practice remains compassionate, ethical, and patient-centered.
