Simile : The theory of nursing as caring is like giving without seeking.
Picture
The picture below demonstrates the theory of nursing is caring by showing the unconditional love that is between mother and child. Just like nurses the mother cares for her child without expecting anything in return.

Patients trust their nurses to care for them unconditionally, just like the child trust the mother to care for her.
