Abstract
Summary.Two years ago I spent three months in Sweden as the first nurse scholar to receive a Fulbright Research and Lecture Award in that country. I was sponsored by the University ofGoteborg, Department of Advanced Nursing Education. Special hosts included Professor Head Britt Johansson of the Department, and faculty colleagues Elvi Walldall, Bjorn Sjostrom, and Marianne Gustaffson. My experience provided a rare opportunity for personal and professional growth, a chance to contribute to nursing's development beyond the United States, and to work with international colleagues. The experience was mutually satisfying, in that my interests and work in caring philosophy and theory and Sweden's academic terminology of “caring science” and Sweden's social and political commitment to a caring society were congruent. During my time in Sweden I taught a doctoral course on caring theory and engaged in consultation, workshops, seminars, and public lectures, along with clinical research and study of the educational and health care system.
