At the heart of nursing education is the need to prepare students to be safe, competent, ethical providers who are capable of providing high-quality care within the complexities of the ever-evolving North American health care settings. Research shows a gap exists between what nursing students are taught andwhat they later findout nursing really is asyoungprofessionals. NursingasRelational Inquiry is a groundbreaking text that explicitly acknowledges workplace realities and then offers students a theoretically sound, research-informed way of navigating within the realities theywill faceupongraduation thatwill transform theirnursing practice called relational inquiry. By highlighting scenarios from both acute and community-based settings throughout all chapters, the authors show the link of their relational inquiryapproachandhow it canbe implemented inpractice. What is Relational Inquiry? Relational inquiry involves being an inquirer and enacting nursing as an inquiry process. As an inquirer, nurses enter each nursing situation inquiring into the relational experience of people (including oneself), contexts, knowledge,meaningful purposes, excellenceof practices and effectiveness of outcomes (Hartrick Doane & Varcoe, 2008). Like a scientific inquiry, inquiry-based nursing practice involves being in that in-between relational space of knowing/not knowing, being curious, looking for what seems significant, examining the interrelatedness betweentheelementsaswellastherelevanceofthose interrelationships in theexperientialmoment andalsoacting toward them.
