Miracles and Mysteries Jean Watson

Facing life/death human experiences every day, nurses confront unexplained phenomena, which do not conform to common explanatory scientific models. This collected work, which features the experiences of nurses who answered a call by Watson to share their profound nursing miracles and mysteries, provides a forum where miracles and mysteries of life/death can be shared. It was created to honor and highlight life-death "unknowns;" allowing for the reality of miracles to come back into our life and world.

"When we [nurses] are in the presence of patients who entrust their care to us, we may be knowingly or unknowingly entering very sacred spiritual space." Cynthia Holle

"There is nothing else to say, other than to invite you to read, appreciate, bow down, and relish the deliciousness of life's wondrous unknowns - that can only be considered a miracle." Jean Watson
