Nurturing Is the Heart of Teaching

Daybook December 8

The finest mentors shape not only what we know,
but who we become as educators and nurses.

Today’s Daybook reminds us that nurturing the soul of the learner
is essential for keeping the true meaning of caring alive.

---

One of the finest gifts we receive in our careers
is the mentoring and guidance from expert nurse educators.

Their wisdom in understanding caring—
and in teaching us how to teach nursing—
becomes the touchstone we return to
as we guide the learners entrusted to us today.

---

Let us remember this:
to guide is also to nurture.

To teach is to care for the soul of the learning nurse,
so that the true meaning of caring
can be understood deeply
and shown sincerely to those we nurse.

---

One line for nurses and nursing students today:
To teach is to nurture.
