Nur 312 Personal Philosophy of Nursing Since I was little girl, I already knew I was going to be a nurse. I really had no choice; I had no options. My parents instilled nursing with in me. I was born in the Philippines and migrated here in the USA when I was eleven years old. My mother was a nurse and got petitioned to live in America by my aunt to work as nurse.

Nursing is very rewarding in many ways. A nurse can change someone’s life or touch someone’s life without realizing it. I can honestly say that there were many nights where I came home and felt great about my self when I knew I made a difference in my patient’s status. For example: having a successful extubation, successful outcome during a code, or even just simply getting a patient that has been on bed rest for weeks out of bed sitting in a chair and helping them brush their teeth , and combing their hair. Even when I have a patient die on me during the day, I can feel great at the end especially when I know we did everything that we could for the patient and their family. I was taught in nursing school to identify a problem, set interventions on how to solve it, implement the interventions correctly, and successfully solve the problem. When I treat my patients, I treat them with dignity and respect with out any judgment about their age/sex/race/diagnosis/medical history.
Each patient is unique and deserves respect and your best to take care of them. Since nurses spend more time with the patient and their family, I set my priority to achieve a working-trust relationship with
