Abstract: This article examines how Watson's Caring Science theory and the 10 Caritas Processes® can be systematically integrated into contemporary nursing education curricula to foster humanistic centered-care. Current nursing education faces the challenge of balancing empirical, evidence-informed education with the profession's foundational commitment to holistic, human-centered care. The article explores discipline-specific educational approaches that realign faculty-student relationships within a caring framework, providing nursing educators with theoretical foundations and practical implementation strategies for curriculum development. This comprehensive framework addresses nursing's unique twofold identity as both an empirical science and a caring discipline. By incorporating Watson's Caring Science principles throughout the educational continuum, the approach ensures that future nurses develop competencies to deliver care that seamlessly integrates evidence-informed practice with authentic human connection and compassion.
