Holding altruistic values related to nonharming and having a desire to help wherever possible is foundational to caring in nursing, as is the practice of loving kindness with others. Practicing loving kindness with Self, on the other hand, can be elusive. Caring begins with being present, open to compassion, mercy, gentleness, loving kindness, and equanimity toward and with self before one can offer compassionate caring to others. A nurse working in the operating room might outwardly express caring/loving kindness intent by staying near the patient, answering questions, and offering verbal support before anesthesia, and then guarding the patient’s dignity and safety during surgery. A hospice nurse might outwardly express caring/loving kindness intent by providing safe opportunities for patients and family members to openly discuss concerns and questions related to the dying process. The practice of loving kindness and equanimity is a core practice in caring science.
