My Nursing Philosophy

Introduction
Everyone has a philosophy based on their beliefs and values, which help them to make choices in their lives. Having a philosophy means having certain principles and integrate them with other ideas. It is like having a foundation in which one can start building new things. My philosophy focuses on providing help to those in needs regardless of who they are.
