Philosophy of Nursing

I chose the noble nursing career path to connect with and care for individuals in all

aspects of their lives. Inspired by my family's legacy in nursing—my sister is currently making a

difference as a labor and delivery nurse, and my grandma has served as an ER nurse—I am

motivated to continue this tradition of compassion and dedication. This field allows us to

strengthen individuals' cognitive, physical, emotional, and spiritual health to educate and prevent

future adverse outcomes. I value a unit that maintains a clean workforce to advocate for patient

outcomes. I appreciate a compassionate staff that strives to promote dignity and holistic patient

care while meeting patients’ cultural needs. I value good communication because it is an

opportunity to advocate for patients’ needs, wants, and concerns; on the other hand, I appreciate

thorough communication from staff to avoid miscommunication and identify growth areas.

Patients have the right to a clean facility that addresses every aspect of the individual to

achieve wellness. This includes the nurse addressing self-care deficits and cultural considerations

that impact daily care. When advocating these conditions for patients, nurses are best able to

foster health and peace. The environment must remain clean to prevent infection and promote

healing. This includes therapeutic communication and empathy to understand better the

underlying individual factors impacting health. Health depends on several factors, including

environment, body, and mind, illustrating holistic care's importance.

Nursing is a multifaceted field that challenges nurses to promote life and growth for a

diverse population. This field requires nurses’ full attention to assess the environment and

modify the care of patients in every room. Providing patient-centered care and

continuously learning to better serve my brothers and sisters in Christ is an honor. Nurses invest in their

patients’ life stories to ensure high-quality holistic care.
