Envisioning Nursing in 2050 Through the Eyes of Nurse Theorists: Katie Eriksson and Margaret Newman

F. Beryl Pilkington, RN; PhD

School of Nursing, York University, Toronto, Canada, bpilking{at}yorku.ca

Nurse theorists Katie Eriksson and Margaret Newman envision how their theoretical ideas will be expressed in the world in 2050. Eriksson believes that the fundamental concepts of health and suffering in her theory of caritative caring will endure, but will find newer and richer forms of expression. By giving voice to the caring ethos in symbolic form, we can shape the mysterious and unpredictable future. Newman speaks of an emerging pattern of nursing knowledge that reflects compassion, transformation, and freedom. She believes that individual nurses who focus on clients' unitary, evolving pattern of the whole will help to transform the health of society.

Key Words: Eriksson's theory of caritative caring • Newman's theory of health as expanding consciousness • transformation
