My Personal Philosophy Of Nursing

This paper explores the personal nursing philosophy I plan to convey in my personal career. This philosophy is going to be described in my own terms to explain what being a nurse means to me. I believe that there are a number of factors that are important to be successful in the nursing field. I believe that being a nurse it takes commitment to accountability, professionalism, and compassion for the ill. I will explain each one of these in my paper and what they mean to me.

This paper brings up my personal nursing philosophy that I am planning to deliver in my nursing career. I believe that nursing is more than merely as a profession, it also involves my medical knowledge combined it with a commitment to quality nursing care with compassion, respect, dignity, and advocacy for each patient. I believe that the interdisciplinary care and collaboration in the medical field are crucial elements that lead to a healthy relationship among healthcare professionals in promoting quality patient care that is individualized to each patient’s needs.

My personal philosophy of nursing is going to be different than a lot of students. I have been an LPN at a nursing home for fifteen years, a wife, and a mother of three. I believe the more experience in life you have the more of a personal philosophy you can obtain. Students that have never worked as a nurse before, I believe, have not many personal experiences to work with. Due to this reason, they may have to use the philosophy of another person or source.

The purpose of this assignment is to enable the student, myself, to rediscover his or her personal philosophy of nursing as it exists upon the completion of the baccalaureate nursing program. Throughout the semesters, the view I had on what nursing meant to me has grown deeper, but one thing has stayed the same; my philosophy. In my philosophy project from the very first semester, I stated that nursing involves many different parts that all come together to make one great final end product, just like cookies. I compared nursing parts and all the different items nurses bring into the field, to being similar to the ingredients used to make cookies. I still believe that nursing is comprised of many different parts that all come together in order to give the best patient care possible. The personal philosophy paper now is an extension on that first semester’s assignment, to show the growth and development I have had while in this nursing program. It will explore what my personal definition of nursing is, the purpose of nursing, what assumptions in nursing there are, and will conclude with the principles of nursing.

Nursing is based on caring in nursing. Compassion and concern for protecting and enhancing the

A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step, a Chinese proverb that I have come to live by through my journey of nursing. I never thought in a millions years that I would have become a nurse. When I was younger nursing was the only profession my mother pushed. It was as if everyone in our family had to be a nurse. Honestly, I think I rebelled from the thought of being a nurse simply because it was my mothers desire for my life. I went from wanting to become a lawyer, to a therapist, to a pharmacist, to even a radiology tech. Ultimately; nursing became the clear path that God wanted for me. Interestingly enough I have come to realize my personal

To understand nursing philosophy, you must first understand what nursing means to you as an individual. To me nursing as well as nursing philosophy involves providing individualized holistic care to a patient, family, community, or even one’s own self. Holistic care is providing care involving the mind, body, spirit, and environment.

My nursing philosophy is to get every patient to be as independent as they were before they came to me or at least to where they can function closely to what they were doing before. I want. I like teaching patients independence because if the patient doesn’t remain active or able to bathe themselves or feed themselves, the muscles lose memory and it becomes more and more difficult for the patient to care for themselves. My definition is closely related to Virginia Henderson and Dorothea Orem because they both promote self-care and patient independence. The most important roles for providing care are person, environment, nursing, and health. I define person as someone who is seeking care or family seeking care of a health care provider. Environment

My personal philosophy of nursing is based on my understanding and knowledge of medicine combined with practical, compassionate patient based care that culturally respects each patient while at the same time fulfilling their healthcare needs. My philosophy focuses just not on delivering patient based

In the fall of 1862, a war raged between the union and confederate forces at the Battle of Antietam. More than 130,000 soldiers fought, more than 22,000 were wounded. On the battlefront was a woman, Ms. Clara Barton, nicknamed the “Angel of the Battlefield”. Ms. Barton observed the strain of frontline battle, namely hunger, sickness, and wounds and once said “I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them”. (CITATION) It is this same dedication to nursing and our armed forces that drives my philosophy of nursing.

Throughout all of life, there is only a finite amount of time before a living organism perishes out of this world. When regarding human beings specifically, their lifespans on earth are a blink of an eye. However, this blink of an eye has varied throughout all of recorded history. Through the practice of medicine, the human race has increased life expectancy by not only years, but decades. With the help of famous theorists such as Castillo Roy, and Imogene King, the medical field has received priceless advice regarding the proper care of patients. This advice can be used by nurse’s, and medical personnel alike, to help formulate a nursing philosophy. Such a philosophy would be based off of not only nursing

Everyone in nursing school has a different opinion on what nursing actually is, but to me, nursing is something that has hit home ever since the day I decided to change my major and pursue nursing as my career path. To me a nurse is someone who is there for you when you’re at your worst. They not only help you physically in a time of need but a good nurse will also try to help you mentally. A great nurse will not only help you physically and mentally but also put in a real effort to educate you so that you may use that knowledge in order to prevent further illness or injury. Caring is the number one word that comes to mind for most people when they think of the ideal nurse, but for me when the word nurse is used, what comes to mind is persistent,

As a junior in High School, I have finally decided what I am going to pursue in life. I am taking it upon myself to with become at least a nurse practitioner but eventually I would like to become a doctor. There are many reasons I have chose this profession compared to the thousands of other options that were out in the world for me, and some of those are more relatable to another person then others.
