Abstract
Nurses are identified as caregivers, but caring and the work of nursing are often difficult to describe. This study explored caring within pediatric nursing practice, specifically how reflective narrative can be used to capture the essence of caring within practice. How nurses revealed praxis in the narratives is also explicated. Nine nurses' narratives were analyzed by the participants using Johns's (2009) model for structured reflection (MSR). Researchers then analyzed the narratives to identify the common themes of caring. Seven themes emerged: normalizing the environment, creating sacred space, being rooted in compassion, the art of being present, establishing trust-caring, coaching the family as caregiver, and inspiration for the future.
