The purpose of this column is to illustrate how the humanbecoming leading-following model was lived by nurses practicing within hospital, community, and school settings. The authors describe practice scenarios to show ways that nurses guided by the humanbecoming theory lived the processes and the key ideas of the model. One example addresses a change of policy, as the nurse lived the humanbecoming beliefs and values in leading-following. This column is nursing theory-guided evidence-based practice.

The aim of this study was to explore the phenomenon of feeling unsure as viewed from the humanbecoming school of thought. The Parse research method was used to guide this study and answer the question: What is the structure of the lived experience of feeling unsure? The central finding of the study is: Feeling unsure is wavering irresolutely with discerning ponderings arising in venturing with trepidation, while revering alliances. The findings are discussed in relation to the humanbecoming school of thought and related literature.
