Abstract
This qualitative study explored the caring thoughts and feelings of nursing students through the analysis of reflection papers and presentations (oral and recorded) submitted at the end of a 12-week experience called the Adopt a Senior project. The analysis included the word count with accompanying cloud visualization, and subsequently, the individual researchers reading and reviewing student reflections with identification of topics and themes. Subsequently, the researchers met to compare and discuss the identified topics and themes, with resolution of differences resulting in the themes and illustrations reported in this article.
