Abstract
This mixed-method longitudinal study explores how students in a caring-based Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program developed their beliefs about caring in nursing and perceptions of themselves as caring persons. Qualitative essays and quantitative instruments revealed that students began the nursing program with many beliefs about caring, and these ideas changed over time as students were socialized in the profession. Students' initial beliefs about caring as an ideal matured to realistic descriptions of caring in practice. Implications for faculty are to build on initial beliefs and help students extend caring toward self.
