This chapter presents reflections on the attributes of professional caring that are intended to cast light on the range of possibilities of human caring from the ontical perspective. The Six Cs of Compassion, Competence, Confidence, Conscience, Commitment, and Comportment evolved over time in response to the question, What is a nurse doing when she or he is caring?. The Six Cs is used as a broad framework, suggesting categories of human behavior within which professional caring is to be understood. Specific manifestations of caring as represented by such behaviors as taking the time to be with, checking factual information, identifying and using relevant knowledge, performing technical procedures, showing respect, maintaining trusting relationships, keeping a commitment and comportment in dress and language were generalized into the Six Cs.
