Making nursing models relevant for the practising nurse.
For thousands of years the goal of nursing has been to provide nurturing 'care' in a manner which assists individuals or groups of people to reach an optimal level of health. This defines the uniqueness of nursing, ie the care by the nurse versus the 'cure' of the physician. The motivation of providing nurturing care is the same today for the critical care nurse in a modern intensive care unit as it was for the parent in a cave.
