Cedia’S Personal Philosophy. Smile I Tell Myself, The Last

I learned that as a nurse I must take the initiative to regulate my work environment and myself. As much as nurses are part of the larger healthcare team, they often function autonomously. I will need to keep my skills up to date and educate myself by reading current research articles and taking classes at work. I will need to be humble and open to constructive criticism from my fellow employees. I must do my best to be hard working, honest, and helpful both in the work place and my persona life. It’s irrational to think people can be completely honest in one area of their life, but not the rest. If I suffer from any sort of bias towards my patients for the choices

In conclusion, I feel that the philosophy of nursing is a combination of core values, and beliefs that teaches us to treat each human being with the respect, compassion, dignity, and uniqueness, regardless of disease, social or economic status, or race that they deserve. My focus with each patient will be to allow them to have the right to be involved in the decision making of their care as well as allowing their family members to be involved in the decision making. I will maintain my beliefs and values by treating every patient, or coworker with respect that they deserve. I believe that each person has a calling in life and it takes a special person to become a nurse.

The personal values that help contribute to my worldview and philosophy of nursing that is most important, is my religion. I am a Christian and this means that I am to be Christ like in my every day life and work. I am taught to treat others as I would want to be treated and care for them as I would do for myself. I am to help the sick, wounded, poor and widowed. Nursing in its roots are very much the same thing. Helping the ones who are unable to help themself. The underlying rule for nurses is to do no harm. My spiritual vales shape who I am, what I am and what I do. If I do all things as if I were doing them to the glory of God, then I know all things would turn out right. When obeying God and his commands,

When entering the healthcare system, accommodating patients should be a top priority for any nurse. A nursing job can be emotionally and physically exhausting. Because patients are in hospitals and home care facilities throughout the year, it never closes. This forces nurses to be away from their families on weekends and holidays. When having a heart of a nurse, the patient’s health outweighs

There are personality traits that one must have in order to be successful as a nurse. One needs to have emotional stability and the need to be able to cope with stress as most of nursing involves dealing with human suffering, death, emergencies, and other pressures. They need to hold a spirit of service with dedication, love, and tender care and the ability to empathize with their patients in order to try to understand what the patient is feeling and going through. They must be detail-oriented as one mistake in the nursing field could cost someone’s life. Nurses need to have intuition and immediate understanding of a problem without needing to think, this can save lives and prevent further illness. Most importantly, nurses need to have critical thinking. They need to be able to respond to constant changes and needs of the patient and be able to recognize patient problems. Overcoming anxiety and misunderstandings involves patience and compassion so care can be delivered with kindness, respect, and empathy. And lastly a nurse needs dedication in order to stay focused on

Every profession has its rules, beliefs, theories, and principles. This aforementioned are the podium upon which the value and philosophies of the success of each profession is based. These philosophies and values do not operate in a vacuum. They influence the way which professionals carry out their day to day activities for maximum success. Consequently, Nursing and Nurses are not immune to the great influence of values and philosophies, be it at personal or corporate levels. This is because, nursing as a profession deals with the constant interaction with patients; therapeutically providing quality, cost-effective care, promoting health and wellness, they are constantly guided and influenced by their personal and nursing philosophies in

With my career goal is to become a nurse; just not ole any nurse, a great one. My strengths are very important to have. Faith is needed to help get through tough days and to also spiritually help your patients. I feel like whenever you do a task it should be done with integrity. Being a nurse, you have to be strong-minded and also able to heal and comfort mentally, emotionally, and physically, all great signs of a leader. You always have to remember that you can’t always do everything alone. Teamwork is very important in the healthcare field. Each job is important and is connected to one another. Communication is the key to many careers and very important to nursing because you have to build positive relationships with the people and patients around you.

Working well with people is an important factor in the nursing career; a nurse must always be respectful to every patient regardless of the situation. Persuasion sometimes has to be used because a patient may not want a certain medication so a nurse must help the person understand that it is what is best for him or her health and their track to recovery. A nurse must always pay close attention to their patients because if problems or concerns come up, a nurse must be the first to notice it.

As long as I am working in this profession, my philosophy of nursing will always be a work in progress. However, it all started to develop years before I became a nurse. When I was 19-years-old, I became pregnant and decided I wanted to keep the baby. At my 20 week prenatal appointment, the doctor could not detect a heartbeat so he completed an ultrasound. He informed me instead of a fetus, I had a mass of cysts in my uterus which contained the pregnancy hormone. Since these cysts contained beta hCG, they made my body think it was pregnant when in fact, I actually had a type of uterine cancer. Over the next three years, I had five surgeries, seven rounds of chemotherapy and multiple trips to the emergency room because I would hemorrhage. While most people my age were going to college, I spent what felt like an endless amount of time in hospitals. During that time, it became evident to me that out of everyone involved in my care, the nurses had the greatest impact on my day to day life. That moment of clarity was when I decided instead of being a teacher, I wanted to be a nurse. I truly believe being a patient first gave me a very unique perspective on nursing. It created the framework for values, beliefs, and practices which I still follow anytime I care for someone.

Nurses perform an extraordinary range of activities not only as caregivers but also advocates for their patients. Working at Mercy hospital in the dietary department, I have talked with nurses about what their patients can and cannot eat. I have also developed bedside manner skills, and learned how to talk to patients who may not hear well or understand what I am saying. While shadowing a nurse at the University of Iowa Hospital, I watched her and the other nursing staff not only notice something was wrong with a patient, but also identify what could be causing the issue, notify his doctor, disinfect his body to help prevent infection, prepare all the logistics for his transport to surgery, and take him to the operating room, all while taking

I believe the core of nursing is knowledge and your willingness to keep the knowledge. Society has entrusted nurses to act in their best interest through upholding a certain standard

While the nurses have built that foundation, we are continuing to grow from that. We as modern day nurses are responsible for educating much like they did in the 1900s. Nurse’s responsibility has changed and gone beyond just physical care to requiring more trust from the patient. Nurses have become it’s own self-governed entity. We developed a more needed team effort that is necessary for the health of the patient making constant communication with staff, patient, nurses and doctors. We’ve learned that compassion and genuine care is essential to the healing process of the patient. As we spend the most time with our patient, we as nurse will know their health more intimately than anyone

Each person comes from a different backgrounds, cultures, and has had many different experiences. Every person has the right to make decisions about their lives and healthcare. Each person deserves to be respected and has worth to society. When treating patients the nurse must realize that the person has three components body, mind, and spirit. All three components must be a part of care because if only some of the components are treated the patient will not fully heal.

To stand up for what is right even when it is uncomfortable and at time can lead to a lost or criticize from others. The four core values are needing to ensure that trust is develop and sustain. Reading the book, I learned about my character that my integrity is my foundation, along with good intent with no hiding agenda. When it comes to competence I should look at my capabilities to produce results. To ensure the later it is imperative that I reinvent myself yearly to ensure that my talents are not wasted, the attitude to learn, improve my skills, stay knowledgeable as a nurse, and develop critical style to ensure optimal

When you’re a nurse you have to understand the condition your patient is in and why are they feeling this way and the reason it’s basically learning the purpose of their feelings. For example if your patient had like very rare disease and their pain is like off the scale from 1-10. Comprehending of what they feel and how it feel would be the best for you and your patient and not showing any signs of how much they annoy you because that’s not the point. Once you understand what they feel then you will finally get the big picture of the
