Abstract
The year 2022 is Nursing Science Quarterly's 35th year in publication, and we are dialoging with nurse theorists. We hope to uncover influences and origins of their theoretical thinking and hear about their current projects related to nursing science. In this scholarly dialogue column, we dialogue with Dr. Jessica Hemberg, a former nursing student of nurse theorist Dr. Katie Eriksson who was internationally known for her theory of caritative caring. In 1986, Professor Eriksson was invited to create a caring science academic program at Åbo Akademi University in Vaasa, Finland, which drew graduate students from all Nordic countries.Eriksson's work highlighted the uniqueness and dignity of the human being and the importance of protecting the vulnerable suffering human being. Dr. Eriksson passed away in 2019, and we are grateful to spend some time with one of her PhD students.
