Abstract Nursing stands poised before a new century that promises radical changes in healthcare delivery. Circumstances of care will offer the profession new opportunities. The authors provide a provocative review of the past two decades of nursing as a caring profession. Actions for the future are noted, which will enable nurses to reappropriate nursing's tradition of caring.
