ResumoThis paper explores nursing's current fascination with defining and exploring the term 'caring'. Fear of caring is proposed as the reason for this fascination. Factors at the root of this fear are identified and an expanded definition of caring (one which arises from the dispelling of such fear) is proposed. This expanded definition is given a new label--loving. For, as this author contends, has not loving always been at the heart of nursing?
