My Nursing Philosophy: My Personal Philosophy Of Nursing

Personal Philosophy of Nursing

Everyone has their own views of what nursing is. To me, nursing is more than just a job. It is about working as a team to take care of ill patients, treating them with dignity, kindness, respect and compassion. It is about loving what you do while doing it, and not once complaining.

From in-class meetings to clinical hours at the hospital, it has given me the essential tools in order to better care for my patients, such as how to make a bed, give a bed bath, and different interventions to help keep a patient from developing bed sores. All the things that I have learned while in nursing school has taught me how to become a health advocate for others. If a loved one is sick, I will be able to better advocate for them about specific treatment options available. I am blessed to have gotten the opportunity to attend nursing school as it has taught me such valuable lessons that I will carry with me
