Honoring a Legacy of Caring, Healing, and Human Connection

On this special day, we invite you to join in celebrating the 86th Birthday of Dr. Jean Watson, Founder of Watson Caring Science and Co-Founder of The Nursing Way.

For decades, Jean's vision, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to human caring have inspired Nurses and healers around the world. Through Caring Science, she has helped illuminate a path that honors the sacredness of caring relationships, the wholeness of the human spirit, and the profound impact of compassionate presence. As we celebrate Jean's birthday, we also celebrate the countless lives she has touched and the global community of caring she continues to nurture.

Join us for a special gathering as we honor Jean's extraordinary contributions, share reflections and gratitude, and celebrate the legacy of love, caring, and healing she has gifted to the world. Together, let us pause to recognize a remarkable teacher, visionary, and caring-healing presence whose work continues to inspire Nurses around the world.

Open to all!

Nurses in Transition & Retirement

Circle Host: Paulina Van, PhD, RN, CNE, Caritas Coach

A new season of nursing life is un13folding and you don’t have to walk it alone. We are honored to introduce a new Circle on The Nursing Way, created especially for nurses who are retired, approaching retirement, or simply beginning to wonder what comes next. This Circle offers a gentle, supportive space to reflect on your years of service, honor your identity beyond the role, and explore purpose, creativity, rest, and renewal in this next chapter. Together, we will share stories, wisdom, questions, and possibilities without urgency or expectation. Whether you are stepping away, redefining your path, or listening for what’s calling you forward, you are warmly invited to gather with fellow nurses who understand the depth of this transition.

Native American Hoop Dance and The Dance of Caring 

We begin the new year with Native American Hoop Dancer, Educator and Cultural Ambassador Eddie Madril, PhD(c) and Sara Moncada, MA, Native Educator, Cultural Artist and Dancer joining us for this special event. Drawing from the Hoop Dance and their book The Dance of Caring they will take us on a journey into Native insights that inspire caregivers toward abundance, strength and inner harmony. You can learn more at their website sewamdance.com.

Eddie has performed Hoop Dance all over the world. This includes opening the National Magnet Conference, opening for one of Jean Watson’s WCSI events at Stanford and giving the keynote address for The Oncology Nurses Association. Sara’s connection to Nurses is decades long. She was instrumental in overseeing the work that initially defined staffing excellence resulting in the publication Excellence and Evidence in Staffing, she was producer of the feature film Nurses: If Florence Could See Us Now and was the Managing Director for the non-profit Institute for Staffing Excellence and Innovation for many years.

Both Eddie and Sara draw from their rich experience as representatives of Native American culture, their roles as professors in Native American Studies, as well as from their own experiences as caregivers in sharing their stories.
