Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine nursing values as expressed in the practice of nurses pursuing the Master of Science Degree in Nursing. Two stories representing nursing situations reflective of nurses' values guiding practice were chosen for analysis. Content analysis was the method used to study the stories to identify values guiding the practice of nursing. The analysis revealed the following nursing values guiding practice: compassion, respect for the other, competence, commitment, inner harmony, patience, hope, courage, humility, and trust. Caring was identified as the central value of nursing.
