Abstract

In 2003, nursing leaders from the Eastern Colorado Health Care System (ECHCS) integrated caring theory-guided practice on 4South, a busy %bed surgical telemetry unit. The endeavor was documented in the 2005 article, Being and Creating Caring Change in a Healthcare System (Bent et al., 2005). Since then, there have been successes and challenges in sustaining an atmosphere based on the implemented changes. This article serves as a follow up to the creation of the Nightingale Unit. We will outline the conscious efforts and actions on 4outh over 6 years and discuss future goals for this innovative unit.
