Caring and competence: perioperative nurses tell their stories.
One of the many challenges that face perioperative nurses is articulating the moral dimensions of our practice. The stories of practicing clinical nurses are used to articulate caring and competence, two essential components of the perioperative nursing practice. Analysis of patient's stories is essential to validate and safeguard the moral integrity and economic future of the registered professional nurse in the operating room.
