The study aimed to describe the lived experiences of SDMC Registered Nurses, using the existential phenomenological method espoused by Van Manen (2014) in analyzing the experiences. The experiential themes (first reflection) from textual transcription of 4 Registered Nurses revealed: Nurse S shares, “When I am with the patient, I immerse myself in the totality of patient care”. Thus, the theme: Commitment and Compassionate Care. Nurse D verbalized; I have a feeling of satisfaction when I see that the patient loneliness subsides”. Thus, the theme: Gratification in Action. Nurse M expressed, “I felt fulfilled when the patient and family treats me as part of the family. Thus, the theme, Patient and Compassionate Nurse equals Family. Nurse C voiced, “When you are equipped with basic information to answer patient’s questions rapport is easy to establish”. The theme: Cognitive Aspect of Care. The second refection describes caring at the core, inner compass of care, nurturing begets belonging and confidence in knowing. The third reflection sums up the details into “Authentic Caring and Rapport as central to relationship.
