Abstract

The Dance of Caring Persons is a relational model based on the theory of Nursing As Caring. Through the lens of a nursing situation involving a family affected by COVID-19, nursing-theory–based nurse leader behavior in 3 circles of caring is explored. Lessons learned from this experience and analysis can be translated into the practice of nursing leadership in any care environment.
