Dear Hello,
How can it be December already? This lovely comment from our conference evaluation felt apt for this moment: "The conference reassured me that prioritizing human connection, compassion, and reflective practice is not only meaningful but supported by the broader caring science community. It reinforced that slowing down to truly listen is an essential practice for true equanimity."
We wish you Peace and Joy and slowing down time.

Mount Carmel College of Nursing (MCCN) has embraced Caring Science as the framework for their curriculum for many years. Nursing course titles usually begin with “Caring Practices in”...such as for the Transition to Leadership, Older Adult, and Child and Family courses. Our healthcare partners over the years have given accolades regarding our graduate nursing students’ ability to demonstrate caring and compassion for their patients.
