I feel as if my signature theme report described me almost perfectly. My five themes were restorative, deliberative, focus, learner, and relator. Restorative I feel the most accurate description of this theme is that I love to seek out problems and to find the answers to them. As I was reading this paragraph, I was thinking about how I want to be a nurse and want to work in a trauma center. Because in a trauma center you have to think fast and find out what would be the best solution for the patient. It also reminded me that whenever I have a friend that is looking as or not acting liker themselves, I always want to find out what is wrong with them and fix it. Deliberative I think this one described me perfectly! I feel theme described me accurately because I am a very private person and I am also serious. I feel that every action has a consequence good or bad. This is why I agree that I realize the dangers of things and how they can affect you. One life example of this is that I prefer not to tell people many things about me. I like to move and silence and then shock people with my results. For example, in March I had a surgery and many of my own family members did not even know about it until they saw me the next month with my crutches. Focus The third theme I received was focus. I agree with …show more content…
how it stated that if others do not remain focus on what is important that I will remind them what is really important. This theme can also be the theme why you lose or gain friends.
I have lost a few friends in the past year because they did not stay focus on what was important. We did not see eye to eye and when I tried to remind them to stay focus they would just brush me off or tell me I did not know how to enjoy myself. However, I fell that you should enjoy yourself and know how to balance your school work or job, unfortunately they did not know how to. All of my 9 friends went to college and by the second semester only two of us, including me, remained in college. I longer associate with the 7 not in school because they did not have any goals except but to have
fun. Learner I feel this theme described me accurately when it stated that I go the extra mile to recite or practice what I have learned and be extremely happy and confident when you've successfully learned a skill. One example of this theme is that after being in a CNA class for 8 hours twice a week, I still go home and practice my skills because I want to make sure I am doing everything correct. Also my favorite skills in my CNA class are the skills that challenge me. Relator I think this theme described me accurately when it stated that I would like to know people better, just to know them as whole, who they truly are on the outside and on the inside. One example of this theme is that often my friends come to me and ask me for advice. Whether its three in the morning or 3 in the afternoon, they know that I will be there to listen. I never thought how they must feel that, I understand them and that they can trust me.
When I graduated high school, I really gave a lot of thought about what I wanted to do with my future and who I wanted to be. During this time, I read that psychologist often suggest people revisit the activities they enjoyed as a child. They claim that children spend their time participating in activities that bring them the greatest delight. Children do not think about salaries and retirement plans, they simply do what makes them happiest. This made me think back to how I spent my childhood and what I did in those years solely for the sake of it bringing me joy. That is when I realized that care giving and nurturing has been a part of my happiness since I was a child. Whenever a family member or friend was injured or ill, I would be the first in line to administer a Band-Aid or bring them soup in bed. When I was blessed enough to have everyone in my life be in good health, I would find an outlet for care giving in my stuffed animals. I would come up with fictional illness and ailments and find a way to care for them; whether it was constructing a tourniquet out of my hair ribbons, a cast out of duct tape or an oxygen mask out of sand which bags. When I allowed my imagination to run wild, I always found my greatest joy in nurturing. As I grew older I gave up my imaginary patients, but I never lost the happiness I felt when caring for another person.
According to Chitty & Black (2014) the philosophy of nursing is defined as beliefs and values that are the bases for how we think and act in our nursing careers. Similar to a nursing philosophy, a personal philosophy includes a person’s specific beliefs and values. The purpose of this paper is to start evolving my own personal nursing philosophy that contains my own beliefs and values that I will take with me throughout my career as a registered nurse.

The progress of nursing theories reflects the development of nursing science. Theories go beyond describing professional abilities, and aim for a synthesis which in turn becomes a reference to practitioners. This interplay between theory and practice currently mirrors specific features of our profession: its focus on the individual, the behavior, and the importance of the experiences, considered in a universal way. In consequence, the biological, psychosocial, cultural and spiritual connections of the human beings are the focus of the nursing discipline. This paper offers a nursing view, analyzing main concepts of the professional nursing roles.
This paper explores the personal philosophy I have as a nursing student and what I intend to convey throughout my nursing career. A philosophy is “an analysis of the grounds and concepts expressing fundamental beliefs (Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary, n.d.). Before entering into any profession it is important to evaluate your personal philosophy about the profession, as it pertains to values and principles in which believe in to guide your practice. The field of nursing is more than treating a physiological ailment, but it involves providing quality care for the individualized needs of each patient, hence being client centered. My philosophy of nursing integrates the importance of knowledge base practice of medicine, combined with addressing holistic needs of the patient and family, including the physical, psychological, cognitive, emotional, spiritual and social care (Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, 2010). Additionally, a vital aspect of nursing is effective interpersonal relationships with other healthcare professionals to promote quality patient care. Moreover, my philosophy includes the importance the client-nurse relationship to aid in health promotion to prevent illness and increase the level of health of clients.
The philosophy of nursing consists of values, beliefs and ethics that shape the way a nurse thinks, performs their duties, and behaves. “Philosophy is the intense and critical examination of beliefs and assumptions. Philosophy gives coherence to the whole realm of thought and experiences" (Burkhardt, Nathaniel, & Walton, 2014, p.25). Nurses follow their personal philosophies, but also need to adhere to the professional standards and guidelines set by their governing body. This paper will discuss my personal nursing philosophy including my values, beliefs, ethics and clinical practice. I will outline my definition of nursing philosophy and how this relates to standardized practice guidelines
The greatest aspect about nursing is that it is never going to be just a job and is even more than a merely profession. Instead, it is a belief system or way of life and not a discipline that can simply be practiced then abandoned to the dictates of a time clock. To simply say that “I love people” or want to “help people get better” does not demonstrate the drive behind this feeling. Articulating my philosophy is not an easy task, to better explain my philosophy of nursing, I am going to use some values that I have learned. These tools truly explain how I feel and what has motivated me to pursue nursing as a career.
Nursing is a beautiful field. People for hundreds of years have been associated with the field of nursing. For the society, they play the role of caregivers; they are admired for the services they provide to the people who are no longer able to help themselves, common people and for the military but they are not paid enough for the effort they put into their work. However, the thing they want most out of their job is respect. In March 2013, I observed my aunt who is a nurse during her night shifts for a week on birth and delivery floor. Due to the lack of staff in the night shift, we had to move back and forth from the delivery room to the triage. It was inspiring for me to know the amount of patience, understanding and self-control that a

Nursing is much like a tapestry, though equally an art and science, it is a profession of the heart. Nurses embark on individualized journeys. Nurses create unique story maps, that help define the nursing profession. A collection of “stitches” that form a complex masterpiece, created through daily acts of a nurse’s empathy, kindness and compassion. The beneficent acts of nursing become intertwined with theoretical science, critical thinking, knowledge and skill. A combination of art and science that forms our ever-expanding, professional scope of practice and future nursing roles. Nursing is like a tapestry that is best defined when collective consideration of the profession is applied, a vast collection of beauty, precision, richness, depth
We sometimes drop out of the college because of bad friendship. For example, my brother’s friend was just 19 years old and he dropped out of college only because he wanted to fit into a group that was bigger than him. As a result of this, he wanted to be seen as “cool,” but that wasn’t all. Due to this, he used drugs that dropped him out of the college totally. These students don’t want to seem irresponsible, so they make up an excuse, such as the bad friendship.
The 6 C’s of Nursing form the backbone to high quality nursing care (Cummings 2012). They consist of courage, commitment, competence, care, compassion and communication. Initially they were formed in response to the failings that occurred at the Mid-Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust, therefore leading to the development of the Francis Report, which highlighted a whole system breakdown (Francis 2013). The main aim of their development was to reintroduce the importance of these core values to the success of nursing care. Communication is defined by the Chambers Dictionary as the process of imparting information to another person, via correspondence that may be verbal, non-verbal or written contact (Schwarz 1994). This definition is supported
Developing a philosophy takes time and is cultivated from many different sources. When working to establish my own theory behind nursing I have determined that the original basis of my philosophy steams from my childhood experiences. As a child growing up in a family with three other siblings, chaos was often guaranteed to occur on a daily basis, but I always worked happily to help my parents diffuse the numerous problematic situations that erupted. From a young age I was identified as the caretaker of my siblings, as a result of always being left in charge of my two younger sisters and one older sister. Caring for others has always been a deeply engrained part of my character, and it is a majorly influential factor that pushed me towards
In my opinion, the character is a very confused person who easily gives into hate. He also is two-faced in my opinion, because he sucked up to the man before he killed him. A quote that proves the character is linked to the theme is “ I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this. He had the eye of a vulture- a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees- very gradually- I made my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.” The context of this quote is he is explaining what made him hate the eye and why he decided to take the old man’s life. It goes along with my theme because he hated the eye so much and wrongly decided to take the man’s life because of the hate he has for the eye. Another quote that proves that the character matches the theme is “ But, it continued and gained definiteness- until at length, I found that the noise was not within my ears.” The context of this quote is the quote shows how he realized that he was guilty and the “ringing” is the guilt. The quote proves my thesis by showing how he became guilty for the deed he committed. Thus, the character resembles the theme by showing how the character hated the eye, but then felt guilty for killing his friend
