Abstract
The integration of telehealth has changed the backdrop of healthcare delivery, a transformation that challenges nurses’ perception of presence. Nursing theorists equate presence with “doing for” and “being with” the patient. Understanding these concepts in the context of virtual healthcare has great implications for nursing education, practice, theory, and research. The purpose of this article is to illuminate the dynamic and evolving nature of nursing presence in the context of telehealth and highlight the ways to create the nursing presence by being with the patients in the virtual environment using the telehealth model of caring.
