Gristian Nursing: Personal Philosophy Of Christian Nursing

Philosophy of Christian Nursing Philosophy of nursing is a nurse’s personal belief system that includes your outlook and attitude. It involves the beliefs about nursing and also about people. One of the main aspects of my personal philosophy of nursing is caring. Caring is defined as displaying kindness and concern for others as well as being the work or practice of looking after those unable to care for themselves, especially sick and elderly people. Caring as a Christian nurse requires much from us, but Jesus Christ promises to be with us and give us the strength to go on (Trafecanty, L., May 16, 2017).

I want to value each patient as an individual. Respect for every patient is imperative in preserving a patient’s self-worth and dignity. My goal is for the patient to always be the focus of care and to advocate for them by making sure their values are understood and considered in their care plan. This information and these personal values will serve as a guide for my personal standards of nursing
