Deconstructing nursing from practice to theory.
People often talk about 'basic' nursing care as if it is the simplest thing in the world: it looks so easy that anyone could do it. But there is more to it than meets the eye. We asked three prominent nurses to spend time watching individual nurses going about their business in an attempt to get to the bottom of this thing called nursing care. And when you look beyond the surface it is obvious delivering nursing care is neither simple nor basic.
