Flanagan 's critical incident technique was used to explore the beliefs of a cross-section of careers (both nursing and others) and consumers about the value of nursing and the nature of nursing's contribution in aged and extended care. The exploratory study found that nurses'being there, with andfor residents, theirfamilies, and other health professionals, was influenced by two major themes that emerged from the data: personal and structural considerations. In this article, the potential of critical incident technique as a research method in nursing and for generating information about critical aspects of nursing work in aged and extended care is demonstrated.
