The Department of Nursing at the State University of West Georgia implemented Caring Groups as a teaching/learning strategy designed to teach caring. In Phase I of a research program, Caring Group participants reported being more aware of the meaning and importance of caring in their personal and professional lives. Phase II, reported in this paper, sought to understand the influence of participation in caring groups on nursing practice. The stories of the graduates during their first year of nursing practice include experiencing non-caring, transferring the caring learned in their educational program to nursing practice, and making efforts to transform nursing practice through action.
