In this episode of the Interior Health Nursing Grand Rounds Podcast, host Allyson Thomas sits down with experienced nurse and educator Susanne Chenoweth to explore the heart of modern nursing through the lens of Caring Science.

Rooted in the work of Jean Watson and other nursing theorists, Caring Science offers more than just a framework—it’s a transformational approach to how we engage with patients, colleagues, and ourselves. Susanne brings this philosophy to life through powerful stories, personal insights, and practical guidance for integrating compassion, presence, and human connection into everyday nursing practice.

🔍 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What Caring Science really means in a clinical setting
• How to cultivate deeper nurse-patient relationships
• The impact of intentional presence on patient outcomes
• Why self-care and reflective practice are essential to sustainable nursing

Whether you’re at the bedside, in leadership, or shaping the future of healthcare education, this conversation will inspire and ground your practice in what matters most: human caring.
