Practice in 2050: caring science and a synthesis of views.

In this column nurses influenced by Watson's human caring theory and Eriksson's theory of caritative caring share their ideas about what nursing theory-guided practice will be like in 2050. Following these contributions about caring theories in 2050, is a synthesis of threads of relatedness across the volume 20 Practice Applications columns-all of which focus on possibilities for nursing theory-guided practice in 2050.
