CONCLUSION
This epilogue has been written to bring the reader up to date on the development of the theory of Nursing as Caring. Developmental efforts projected in Chapter 6 are still needed, and efforts in progress hold promise for further development. As the cadre of nurses interested in working within the theory grows, development will accelerate, in both projected and novel directions.
