"Este libro es una recopilación de relatos de enfermeras y enfermeros vinculados a los diez procesos de Caritas(R) de la Teoría del Ciencia del Cuidado de la Dra. Jean Watson . Los diez procesos de Caritas (que transmiten amor, compasión, sabiduría y cuidado) describen los elementos universales esenciales del cuidado humano que son el día a día de las enfermeras y los enfermeros. A menudo estos procesos no se reconocen y pueden permanecer ocultos y sin compartirse, debido a la cultura profesional científica y objetiva de los hospitales institucionales y a la medicina empírica orientada hacia la técnica." Jean Watson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, LL (AAN) Profesora distinguida/Decana emérita CU Denver CON Fundadora/Directora: Watson Caring Science Institute "...milagros suceden continuamente, el problema es que estamos demasiado ocupados para verlos realmente.... Lo que hacemos, dando lo mejor en cada momento, incluso en los momentos más duros... es realmente un milagro."Mónica García, Enfermera titulada, especialista en UCI, MSN Instituto Nacional de Cancerología Bogotá, Colombia

Facing life/death human experiences every day, nurses confront unexplained phenomena, which do not conform to common explanatory scientific models. This collected work, which features the experiences of nurses who answered a call by Watson to share their profound nursing miracles and mysteries, provides a forum where miracles and mysteries of life/death can be shared. It was created to honor and highlight life-death “unknowns;” allowing for the reality of miracles to come back into our life and world.“When we [nurses] are in the presence of patients who entrust their care to us, we may be knowingly or unknowingly entering very sacred spiritual space.” Cynthia Holle “There is nothing else to say, other than to invite you to read, appreciate, bow down, and relish the deliciousness of life’s wondrous unknowns – that can only be considered a miracle.” Jean Watson 

This narrative-based work is the first to describe Human Caring Literacy from the perspective of caring scientists who "live the life" by incorporating the precepts of human caring into every aspect of their personal and professional lives.

It describes the methods that help practitioners develop mindfulness, reflection, authentic presence, intentionality, and a caring consciousness in the service of providing authentic, heart-centered care for patients, their families, and societies.
