title: The renaissance nurse: permeating clinical competence with the humanities.
abstract: In order to reclaim the "art" of nursing, educators need to prepare their graduates with human caring skills that draw from phenomenology, existentialism, and all segments of the humanities. Nurses of the future will be healers of the body and spirit. The authors discuss, from theoretical perspectives, how the humanities empower the student and offer suggestions for the integration of the humanities into lecture and clinical settings.
