She is now considered a "Major Nursing Theorist" fpr having invented the" Theory of Human Caring." This "theory" (as if science-based nursing needs its own theory) has been seeing considerable use, in promoting CAM and mediocrity in the profession.

She's just a bit goofy and actually I give her props for trying to empower women (or at least nurses) against our society's view of male MDs as god like figures.
