Mrs. Caroline Nilson’s professional domain is nursing and midwifery. As a lecturer at Murdoch University School of Nursing and Midwifery, Western Australia she has taught into the Undergraduate Bachelor of Nursing program and the Postgraduate Master of Midwifery program. Her teaching is supported by thirty years of clinical nursing and midwifery experience. Caroline has developed specific innovative teaching strategies that have been published and presented nationally and internationally. Her teaching philosophy is based on the centrality of the caring relationship. She places a high value on the subjectivity and inter-subjectivity of relationships and considers that ’caring for’ others begins with ‘caring about’ others. As nursing and midwifery are both an art and a science, Caroline seeks to provide a leaning experience that addresses all four attributes of a nurse’s knowledge: the personal, aesthetic, empirical and the ethical. It assists nurses and midwives to bring to society and health care their skills, knowledge and compassion. Critical thinking development and Indigenous health promotion are her key research interests.
