title: Nursing care partnerships at the Denver Nursing Project in Human Caring: an application and extension of caring theory in practice.
abstract: Jean Watson's theory of nursing as the art and science of human caring provides the framework for practice at the Denver Nursing Project in Human Caring, a nurse-managed center for people living with HIV/AIDS. The purpose of this article is to describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of a new model of nursing practice at the Caring Center, called nursing care partnerships. Client and nurse narrative accounts are presented as a means of grounding the reader in the care partners' relationships that are formed during the journey of HIV/AIDS.
