It would be absurd for me to say that I did not want these people to stay alive or that I did not realize that they were people just like me (some of them maybe even better). The British counter-attack felt no compassion and all it could do was stop the enemy from being successful.

Nursing Theory The two nursing theories espoused by Jean Watson and Marilyn Ray have different points of focus, but both focus on the primary purpose of nursing as a caring profession. As such, nurses, carers, and leaders all need to integrate their efforts for the purpose of furthering the primary concern to create a caring and comfortable environment for clients, particualry in the acute care setting. Having considered Watson and Ray,
