Self Analysis : A Self

I define my philosophy of nursing within the three nursing domains of person, health, and environment. My goal is to communicate the importance of nursing as a knowledge-based career, depending not only on the nurse fulfilling her role but also on the patient’s compliance. A patient must learn to provide self-care at home in the same capacity as the nurse would provide care in the clinical setting. I discuss various subjects within nursing. I explain why I want to be a nurse, what I believe a nurse’s role is, the different domains of nursing, and where I believe nursing will be in the future. My philosophy demonstrates the interdependence of the nursing domains. You cannot fully evaluate a person without evaluating their health,

Knowing the self is about nurse not only know her skills, strengths, experience, limitations but also believes in influence of her own personal beliefs, values, assumptions, and perceptions while this guides her in decision- making process (Gillespie, 2014). As Kathy reflected and used her experience with her co-nurse to effectively communicate with Mrs. A's daughter who was upset to see her mother's

A nursing philosophy coincides with self-awareness. Nursing philosophies are developed by each individual nurse regarding the nursing practice and are important in understanding what is fundamentally important to each nurse, along with their values and beliefs. Self-awareness, in short, is knowledge of one 's self, feelings, motives, and desires. In order for nurses to develop their own nursing philosophy they must first have a good sense of self-awareness. As a future nurse it is important that I recognize my own self-awareness so I can continue to build onto my beliefs and values of the nursing profession and gain a better understanding of what is fundamentally important to me as a nurse. In this paper I will discuss why I chose the nursing profession, my beliefs and values, and what I feel is fundamentally important in the nursing profession.

I will formulate a self-evaluation for myself. I will also reflect on what I have seen during my observation and what I have learned in my research. I will reflect on how I plan to demonstrate my observations and research into my nursing practice.

When I became a nurse I wanted to be the best nurse I could be. I have encountered many different types of nurses. I have seen nurses who do the bare minimum and some who go above and beyond for their patients. I wanted to be like the nurses who went above and beyond for their patients because of that patient satisfactory and bond that you can get when you take the time to listen. As you precept with different nurses of different levels of expertise you take in to perspective of how you think a nurse should be or strive to be. I have had different nurses who approach nursing in different ways but in the end the outcome is the same which is we want what is best for our patients.

The essay is reflective writng .It reflects specific day as student nurse during hospital placement. The main aim of this essay is to explore self-awareness to learn from it. It is focused on four themes which are person-centred nursing, coping strategies, evidence-based practice and reflection on the challenging experience and response on showing self-awareness. In order to this, feelings are studied in depth and critically analysed. Furthermore they are evaluated to check accountability of learning while practicing. The essay is structured using Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle (Gibbs 1998, updated by Bulman 2013). Hence, it will begin with brief overview about the situation that was challenging. Followed by, feeling that were raised by situation and evaluating them. Along with that there will be critical analysis where they are supported with relevant resources. Ultimately, the conclusion will sum up the entire learning outcome that I gained from the experience. In the end, there will be final evaluation, where there will be brief discussion on the ways that could be done differently for the best learning experience for future.

In Ken Russell’s Altered States and Aldous Huxley’s Doors of Perception, both protagonists embark on journeys fueled by psychoactive drugs in which they are confronted with the notion of Self. In Doors of Perception, Aldous Huxley consumes mescaline believing that he will be permitted to experience the mindset of visionaries but, instead, his heightened state transforms his concept of the Self. In Altered States, the protagonist Eddie Jessup, portrayed by William Hurt, ingests a mixture of amanita muscaria, a hallucinogenic mushroom, in an attempt to penetrate the atoms of the mind, which he believes to hold the memory of conception of consciousness. Although both protagonists alter their beliefs of Self, there are many similarities, as well as differences, between their psychoactive drug- induced pursuit of Self.

Music works as a function that can satisfy an individual. The context of it can reflect on how one feels or represent their personal identities. Through music we can reveal our “true selves” and develop a connection with others as well.

Self-care is taking a strategic measure to ensure that one is safe and stays in focus. They are personal decisions that one takes for to improve their health. In this case, my self-care is to ensure that I remain in line with the nursing school and nursing career in general, and set strategies to implement the key options that I have chosen. These include time management, , focusing more in nursing school and exercising. The field of nursing is diverse (Lever, 2010, p. 105). It requires focus to be able to cope with the daily challenges. However, caution should be taken when pursuing nursing as a profession. Nursing school requires discipline and compliance to the regulation in both class and at work. The paper will discuss the various measures that I will adopt to secure my future career in nursing and highlight how I will cope with stress while in nursing school.

This self-reflective paper focuses on what I’ve learned about myself this semester regarding my strengths, and weaknesses.

Deciding to become a nurse is a huge decision to make. Nursing is an occupation that requires more than just schooling; it requires compassion and understanding. Many people do not understand everything a nurse goes through, so not everyone appreciates nurses like they should. Nurses influence the lives of many on a daily basis, and are often the motivation and encouragement that patients need. Nursing is more than just taking care of patients; it is also communicating and collaborating with physicians and patients. Even when nurses are having a terrible day, they have to remain positive and passionate about their job. Nurses have a lot that they have to be able to do, and that is why the personality characteristics a nurse has is essential. It is important for nurses to maintain positive attitudes and have a certain personality. It is also vital for nurses and physicians to collaborate and communicate efficiently in order to give the patients the best care possible. Though it is important, it is not always easy; sometimes they have to work together to better collaborate and communicate, and to help one another keep a positive attitude throughout the day. Nurses also need to have the right personality for the job because they are dealing with people, who may be emotional, or easily irritated. Collaboration, communication, positive attitudes, and personality are all significant in the nursing field.

I have always been attracted in the medical field and sciences since I was in the elementary school. I started to have an excessive interest in the nursing field during my high school years and aspiring to become a nurse. Even though nursing school can be very challenging, I believe those who determine and willing to work hard will be successful in this field. By advancing the field of nursing, I’m aiming to be proficiencies, conscientiousness, and competences in the health care area because I believe nursing is not only a professional achievement, but it is a personal accomplishment as well.

Nursing students enter school with a nurturing attitude, desiring to help and support individuals through their medical journey, but instructors often deviate away from this image and refuse to approach this model. During this time, nursing students learn technical and medical skills, not behavioral skills. Throughout the first semester, nursing students enter a “labeled of recognition of incongruity stage”, and nursing students begin to drop out because the nursing school failed to match their image and thought (228). Like physicians, the nursing students enter the “psyching out the faculty stage”, focusing on material emphasized in their classes by their instructors, and eventually, they recognize the faculty’s attention to professionalism, which causes them to enter the “role simulation stage”(228). The nursing students begin socializing with patient and physicians in a professional manner, and over time, this increases their confidence. During the second half of their training, they enter the provisional internalization and stable internalization stages as they internalize themselves as professional, usually accepting by their graduation.

At 16, I was threatened, abused and sexually assaulted by someone close to me. At 19, I experienced a severe car accident and lived with a suicidal roommate with bipolar disorder that did not take her medication regularly. At 20, I was burglarized by a roommate with antisocial personality disorder. At 22, my fiancé died due to an artillery explosion. At 23, after requesting an inspection of home health hazards, was removed from the lease and became homeless. At 24, I became a victim of wage theft by my employer. I gained the strength and courage to be my own voice and become an advocate for others and myself in hardship. I have known pain but I have also known love and my perceived failures became a catalyst for reinvention.

Many United States school districts have recently taken steps towards raising students’ values of self-concepts of themselves, or their self-esteem. Most of us correlate negative self-concepts, or low self-esteem, with learning difficulties and social reclusion. Recent psychological research has also discovered that inflated self-concept is correlated to violence, including bullying and even criminal acts. While reminiscent of the neo-Freudian Narcissistic Personality Indicator, Carl Rogers’ phenomenological theory is a better explanation of the apparent drive towards bullying and positive self-concepts.
