title: Newman's health as expanded consciousness in baccalaureate education.
abstract: The purpose of this article is to describe the use of Newman's theory of health as expanding consciousness by baccalaureate nursing students in clinical learning experiences. After a brief overview of Newman's perspective, the authors report the context, the process, the challenges, and possibilities of participating in theory-based nursing care as reflected by students and faculty. Two exemplars of student-client partnerships highlight the process. The authors underscore the significance of early exposure to application and reflection on discipline-specific knowledge in the socialization of the future nurse.
