Presencing in practice. Utilising the core of the caring process.
This article is about knowing in nursing, and using presence knowingly. It examines some descriptions from the literature and discusses how issues raised sit with my personal practice-based understanding of presencing. Four short exemplars are given to illustrate some of my experience with presencing, often in difficult circumstances, in clinical nursing practice over the years.
