Taking care of patients and caring for patients are not the same.
THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT difference between taking care of patients and caring for patients. TAKING CARE OF PATIENTS emphasizes objective, professional care, such as the medical and psychological aspects of nursing. CARING FOR PATIENTS, on the other hand, is a humanistic way of interacting with patients that demonstrates sincere care and concern for patients simply because they are human beings.
