This article examines the apparent role conflict created by the need for nurses to be technically competent while remaining caring. It questions whether this conflict is a true reflection of modern day nursing practice. The impact of technology on the role of the nurse in healthcare environments is explored and contrasted with everyday nursing practices that are patient-centered. The contributions and risks of nursing science are discussed, as is the conflict of science and art. Nurses’ role in humanizing the dehumanizing effect of healthcare technology is emphasized; the importance of the patient as the focus of nursing practice is asserted.
