- Abstract: Virginia Henderson defined that the primary role of nurses for individuals, whether sick or well, is to assist them in regaining their health and promoting their independence in activities of daily living (Halloran, 2018). The gap that is noted in the definition of Henderson’s role of nurses is the lack of direction as to how will a nurse render care that is unique and satisfying to an individual, knowing that the demand of expectation rises. Thus, it motivated this paper to study the concept of the dynamic care nurse. This concept paper utilized Walker and Avant (2005) method of analysis. The attributes associated with the dynamic care nurse are (1) continuous learning; and (2) the utilization of best practices. The antecedents identified include (1) initiative, and (2) compassion (ICN, 2012, Hemberg et al., 2020, Kroning, et al., 2019). Dynamic care nurse exemplifies the attributes of continuous learning and the utilization of best practices. Nurses can bridge the gaps in the practice through these attributes and by possessing initiative and compassion, it is not by afar to achieve a better health care service and positive health outcomes.
