Abstract
Caring Science is an extant theory of human relationship, guiding the profession of nursing with the understanding and application of a moral-ethical praxis that promotes, protects, and provides human dignity throughout the life continuum. It has transformed nursing by calling for a heightened ethos of human dignity in how nurses practice, educate, research, and evolve the profession. This chapter discusses Conscious Dying, a framework rooted in a human caring ontology, which strives to deepen the nurse healer’s awareness in tending to a patient’s dying and death. It helps the caring-healing nurse to embrace Conscious Dying principles amid complex pain and suffering. The chapter also helps the reader to self-reflect on Caring Science, Conscious Dying, and self-transcendence as elements of creating a healing environment for the dying one. It provides reflective inventories to illustrate the connections between Caring Science and Conscious Dying.
