About Watson Caring Science Institute

We're here for nurses. Watson Caring Science Institute is an international non-profit 501C(3) organization that advances the unitary philosophies, theories and practices of 'Caring Science’, developed by Jean Watson, Ph.D., RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, LL (AAN). Caring Science is a transdisciplinary approach that incorporates the art and science of nursing and includes concepts from the fields of philosophy, ethics, ecology and mind-body-spirit medicine. The Theory of Human Caring improves patient care, and reduces staff burn out (research available upon request). There are many hospitals throughout the world who are now basing their professional practice model on Watson’s Caring Science Theory. Jean and her team of Caring Science Scholars offer unique consultations with national hospital systems, nursing schools and other care-giving facilities to help embed this values based, best practice theory. Excellent quality organizations such as Stanford Health (top 3% of Hospitals Nationally) are awarded our coveted designation: 'WCSI Affiliate System'. Through deep reflective practice, our Caring Science Faculty offer unique professional development programs such as the Caritas Coach Education Program®, and the Caritas Leadership Program™️. We work globally to translate the theory into concrete human-to-human practices that help to re-pattern the culture of healthcare (and increasingly other values-led organizations) whereby leaders and managers ‘live out’ the theory in their professional and personal lives.
