Abstract
Nursing theorists have been popular in nursing since the days of Florence Nightingale and have continued through to the present. This paper highlights Rosemarie Parse's theory of human becoming as well as Jean Watson's theory of human caring. This is then followed with a discussion of how their theories and philosophies are similar, how their theories are dissimilar and finally what other theories in nursing are related to each of these theories.
From the Paper
"It is considered beyond the scope of the paper to discuss each theorist's theory in detail. Rosemarie Rizzo Parse's theory Rosemarie Parse's theory of human becoming is built on concepts that are considered inter-subjective, relying on an interpersonal environment from which to create meaning and allow for personal growth (Bjorklund, 2000). Parse offered this theory in 1981 as an alternative to the standard bio-medical model emphasized in the 1960s and 1970s (Cody, n.d.). "

Abstract
This paper discusses the theory of human caring as propounded by Jean Watson. The paper contends that Watson's theory is based on the notion that love and care have therapeutic properties, and when used properly with medical competencies, they can become major healing forces. The paper explains that the theory is grounded in humanism, which seeks to provide patients with spiritual, emotional, mental, as well as physical comfort and well-being.
From the Paper
"The theory sounds complex to many because of its rather perplexing terminologies and extensive use of overlapping and sometimes vague concepts. But it is definitely one of the most important nursing theories to have emerged in the late 20th century and is solely responsible for turning 'caring' into a science. It has become a standard for judging new practices and competencies in nursing because Watson has successfully managed to bridge the gap between theory and practice by incorporating the two into the same framework.
With rapid changes in the medical field and with new technologies emerging everyday, people especially those in the nursing field are in constant danger of losing sight of their core objective i.e. personal care. Nursing tasks have become too technical in nature and thus it is important to stress the need for transpersonal relationships and one-on-one personal connection between nurses and patients. By including mind, body and spirit into the whole scheme of care, Watson guides nursing in the right direction."

Abstract
This paper discusses the theory of Jean Watson, who situated nursing and health at the very center of human nature and as our source of unity. The paper claims that Watson was chosen because she focused on what had often been neglected in nursing - the spiritual dimension of the person and maintains that her position helps nurses to view nursing in an entirely different light.
From the Paper
"Jean Watson Introduction Jean Watson situated nursing and health at the very center of human nature and as our source of unity. She maintained that "the task of nursing and health and healing is related to the very nature of our shared humanity" (Watson, 2003, p. 197). Watson was chosen because she focused on what had often been neglected in nursing: the spiritual dimension of the person. Furthermore, her theory is derived from her own values, beliefs, and experiences. Watson's framework fits nursing perfectly since her theory is based on becoming, knowing, and doing."

Abstract
This paper argues that the perception of the nursing profession changed after the introduction of Jean Watson's theory of nursing. It defines this theory, which addresses this perception by accurately identifying that the nurse's career as much more than just being a doctor's helper. It explains that the nursing profession carries a different responsibility in the healing process. Watson views nursing as both an art and a science. While the science is focused on performing medical procedures and assisting doctors and other health professionals in their work, the art of nursing encompasses the whole human person. The art of nursing, according to Watson, is preserving the worth of humankind through the process of caring.
From the Paper
"During a time when educational standards are being reevaluated as to the content, clarity and purpose of ht educational process, many fields are also undergoing refinement. When a particular field encounters a speed bump in its ongoing progress, like education, it is appropriate to reevaluate where the organization has been, where it is currently, and in what direction the field needs to be pointed in order to regain its effectiveness. The nursing field is a sector of the educational system which is currently suffering from a reduction in recruitment. The nursing field has long carried the stereotypes of a career path that is 'less than' a doctor's status, and therefore less desirable."

From the Paper
" Abstract
This paper presents an analysis and critique of a published nursing philosophy and theory by the nurse theorist Jean Watson. The analysis is based on Watson's publications about her theory, especially her 1979 book, Nursing: The Philosophy and Science of Caring, and her 1985 book, Nursing: Human Science and Human Care: A Theory of Nursing. The starting point of the paper is a brief review of the Theory of Human Caring, which focuses on the human component of caring and the moment-to-moment encounters between the one giving care and the one cared for. The theory consists of a description of transpersonal caring and a taxonomy of interventions referred to as carative factors. The analysis of Watson's work reveals that the theory is based on a metaphysical, spiritual-existential, and phenomenological.."

Abstract
This paper explains that Jean Watson's theory of human care describes the nursing process as a moral ideal. The author points out that Watson's philosophy of nursing holds that nurses exist in order to understand the patient, to help the patient gain harmony within his or her mind-body-spirit complex (which generates self-knowledge, self-reverence, self-healing), and to install faith-hope. The paper examines the case of a diabetic patient who has not been adhering to his health teaching about diabetic protocol and diet and explains how Watson's theory enabled the author of the paper to approach the patient through a strong therapeutic relationship, while focusing on the patient's self-determination and ability for self-care.
From the Paper
"The instillation of faith-hope includes being present to Mr. C and being supportive of both any positive or negative feelings he might express. The nurse is not judgmental but is accepting of him. At the same time, she promotes wellness by encouraging Mr. C to begin practicing health-seeking behaviors. Everything that is done for Mr. C is centered in care because care is the center of nursing."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Dr Jean Watson's theory of human care and how it is based on a deep respect for all of human life and for the interconnectedness of all things. The paper presents a case study of a clinical situation with Mrs. N and describes how the implementation of Watson's theory affected the way in which the writer related to the patient. It discusses how this relationship improved care for the patient. The paper is written in the first person.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Personal Experience Reflection
Watson's Theory of Human Care
Evaluation
From the Paper
"As a result of the caring moment, both I and Mrs. N were changed. I learned a new level of continuing competence and arrived at a deeper understanding of human care. I learned to clarify my value system and define what it means to be human and caring as a nurse. I also learned that both I and the patient are involved in continuous process of growing, changing, and becoming (Walker & Neuman, 1996). We both came out of the situation essentially learning the same truth that we need a high perception of the other person as a human being. In addition, as a result of the intersubjective flow between Mrs. N and I, Mrs. N was better able to release some of her disharmony of the mind, body and soul. She came to realize that she does need more health teaching and cannot deal with certain situations. What did not work in the situation was that I did not have the patient's perspective at the center. However, the use of Watson's carative factors changed that."

Parse's list of essential practicing of the art of nursing is congruent with Watson's theoretical assertions in her human science theory. While both theorists use verbiage and definitions that can be complex, both theorists are grounded in their beliefs of how individuals experience is bettered by a compassionate way."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the theoretical framework that Jean Watson developed regarding the constructs of person, nursing, environment and health. It describes her emphasis on the mind and spirit and discusses how this can be used in practice. The paper analyzes how all of Watson's four constructs are interrelated because of the therapeutic relationship.
From the Paper
"All of the four constructs are interrelated because of the therapeutic relationship. Without such a relationship, no healing or caring is possible. The constructs also are interrelated because of nursing's holistic approach. These constructs provide direction for nursing leaders and allow for a vision and to a commitment to a holistic approach for nursing. Not only can the patient achieve balance, but all aspects of care can be considered and balanced through the use of the constructs. Leaders who create visions can develop entirely innovative approaches to creating healing environments for both nurses and patients so that growth and development are promoted to achieve self-realization."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Jean Watson's carative theory allows nurses to practice the art of caring with the purpose of easing patients' and families' suffering, promote the healing and dignity of the patients, and expand the nurse's own actualization. The author points out that her theory contrasts carative forces with the conventional medicine's curative forces. The paper relates that Watson stresses the spiritual side of nursing by creating an environment of energy and consciousness based on wholeness, beauty, comfort, dignity and peace.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Carative Forces
Transpersonal Caring Relationship
Caring Occasion/ Caring Moment
From the Paper
"According to Jean Watson, a caring occasion is the moment or stage when the nurse and another person come together in such a way that an occasion for human caring is created. Both, the patient and the nurse struggle to develop the possibility of coming together through human-to-human transaction, with their unique phenomenal fields.
According to Watson, the phenomenal field is in correspondence with the person's frame of reference or the totality of human experience. The human experience is based on feelings, bodily sensations, thoughts, spiritual beliefs, goals, expectations, environmental considerations, and meanings of one's perceptions."

Abstract
This paper discusses the 'Theory of Human Caring', created by Jean Watson and Jean Piaget's theory on human intellectual development, individually. The paper then compares the two and explains how they can be applied to the nursing industry.
From the Paper
"In addition to the above basic core ideas of the role of the nurse, Watson also discusses the idea of transpersonal caring relationships. These relationships convey a concern for the world and the spirit of the nurse's patient (Watson, 2000). These relationships help to move the patient beyond their pain and suffering, and allow them to tap into their own healing potential. Watson also discusses the ability of the nurse to use that caring to go beyond the illness and disease, and to focus on the healing and wholeness issues of the patient. As a part of that relationship, there are moments where the nurse and patient bond together and it is that bonding, which is a result of the ten processes above and the transpersonal relationship, which allows the healing of the patient (Watson, 1988)."

Introduction
The Origin of Jeans
Technical Aspects: What is Denim?
The History of Blue Jeans
Impact on Society

Many of the source books on the subject state that denim is derived from the English translation of the South of France French phrase 'serge de Nimes'. Denim fashion history has therefore become associated with Serge de Nimes. (Denim Jeans - Fashion History). The Serge de Nimes was originally a wool silk mix, twill weave. There was also fabric which was known as "nim" in France and both these fabrics were composed partly of wool. (A history of Denim)

A look at the ideology and symbolic meaning behind jeans and how this has changed over time.

Abstract
The ideology of Jeans in the United States has been changing for decades due to the shift in pop culture. Because of the diversity of American culture, the idea behind the jeans has evolved from hard-working to self identification. The author examines the changing symbolic significance of jeans for American society over time and the symbol they serve for popular culture.
From the Paper
"Jeans, or to be exact, blue jeans, have been carrying its very symbolic significance for America over the last 150 years. For the past century and a half, the culture of jeans has changed the ideological symbolism from initial proletarian wardrobes (toughness, independence, and hardworking) in the mid-nineteenth century to modern twenty-first century representation of selfness (uniqueness, individuality, and personal styles). Not only has the ideology changed over time, but the jeans per se, its design, style, embellishment, or even marketing strategy also change from 'western-era' plain style emphasizing durability, through 'rebellious-period' creative style stressing anti-tradition, to 'post-war epoch' advocating casualness, following neck-and-neck along the societal pulsation. Jeans therefore can serve as an accurate barometer of trends in contemporary, now and then, popular cultures."
