A reliable set of nursing skills is essential in delivering high quality health care to patients. However, apart from exceptional knowledge and nursing abilities, a health service provider should have the compassion and empathy to better relate and serve their patients. These ideal characteristics of a nursing professional are developed during the formative years while studying in an academic system. Yet, a lot of nursing institutions are still using the traditional paradigm, which may not support a holistic approach in developing nursing students. This traditional pedagogy is reinforced by the nursing institution’s vision statement.
The aim of this article is to present and discuss in what way a paradigm shift that aims at restructuring the nursing vision statement from the Kuhnian circle viewpoint, is essential to invigorate a nursing pedagogy that fosters a holistic approach to nursing education in which compassion and care are expressed as ideals of nursing education.
