Summary • This paper presents a proposed model: The Attending Nursing Caring Model ® (ANCM) as an exemplar for advancing and transforming nursing practice within a reflective, theoretical and evidence‐based context. • Watson's theory of human caring is used as a guide for integrating theory, evidence and advanced therapeutics in the area of children's pain. • The ANCM is offered as a programme for renewing the profession and its professional practices of caring–healing arts and science, during an era of decline, shortages, and crises in care, safety, and hospital and health reform. • The ANCM elevates contemporary nursing's caring values, relationships, therapeutics and responsibilities to a higher/deeper order of caring science and professionalism, intersecting with other professions, while sustaining the finest of its heritage and traditions of healing.
