Abstract
This article examines the experiences of a student nurse early in training and how such experiences form the basis to understanding caring in nursing. Upon reflection of a seemingly routine event with a patient, the student nurse inspects the meaning of caring, patient-centered care, and holistic care, along with their barriers in the practice of nursing. To conclude, the student explores potential remedies to barriers in caring for both novice and experienced nurses.
