Nursing education has made a journey from being mainly clinic-based education to being education that is carried out at universities and university colleges. The journey from being clinical education to being a university education has likewise created a gap between theory and practice. In this article, the aim is to describe the learning model of Developing and Learning Care Units (DLCU), based on caring science didactics with a lifeworld approach. To overcome the gap between theory and practice, students are supported by a reflective supervisory approach, to learn to take care of patients. Caring and learning are based on caring science with a lifeworld perspective to ensure caring and learning based on a holistic perspective that includes the individual patient and student.
