title: Presencing in practice. Utilising the core of the caring process.
abstract: 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.
