| Summary: | Graduate nurses must be knowledgeable,
technologically savvy, compassionate, and
caring in order to provide optimal care in
today's complex healthcare delivery system.
They must possess not only technical skills or
the science of nursing (hard skills) but also
humanistic caring skills or the art of nursing
(soft skills) at all times. Nursing care is widely
acknowledged to be a blend of art and science.
While science (hard skills) can be found in
nursing education, research, and practice, art
(soft skills) is often overlooked. Although
philosophical and theoretical debates on the art
of nursing abound, research demonstrating its
relevance to nursing practice is lacking. |
