Nurse Educator Philosophy

When I think about nursing profession, I envision, the act of kindness, compassion, caring, patient-nurse relationship that transcend the act of just doing a job. The nursing profession is a vocation in a pure form of caring beyond the scope of the meaning of the word, and the show of the divine nature of the nurse’s compassion, which creates a bridge and the purest form of relationship between the nurse, the patient and the communities. Nursing is a commitment to oneself, to patients, families, communities as well as the population. During a time of need, nurses assist in ways that beyond a task, it becomes an act of caring and compassion that creates a healing process not just for the individual and the family but the whole community as well as a personal growth for the nurse. I believe that the same act of kindness, caring, and compassion as a clinical nurse should translate into my nurse educator’s role.
