Abstract
The theoretical notion of caring is central to nursing practice, education and research. Caring is both a relational experience and interpersonal process. It encompasses the provision of expert nursing when addressing client needs and aims to culminate in positive health outcomes (Finfgeld‐Connett, 2008). Integral to nursing care provision is holism and culturally safe or competent practice. Holistic nursing practice requires a multidimensional approach and attends to the physical, emotional, psychological and sociocultural needs of the person being cared for Enzman Hines and Gaughan (2017). Throughout the world caring, holistic and culturally competent nursing practice are key competencies required of students seeking registration as a nurse. This means providing care and appropriately meeting the care needs of all consumers of nursing services.
