Personal Ethical Philosophy
Personal Ethical Philosophy In everyday work, nurses experience many ethical issues and they must stand up for their personal standards of what is right or wrong.
Highly Important Values
Helping Others I have 3 values that are highly important to me and they are to help others, honesty, and knowledge. Helping others is what nursing is all about. Nurses assist patients by relieving or dampening their pain and helping carry out treatment plans to get them on the road to recovery. This passion to help others can be maintained by making everyday taking care of patients interesting and worthwhile. It can be evaluated by how often a nurse advocates for a patient’s rights, beliefs, or requests. Nurses help patients by serving as teachers and role models to patients and families. Health promotion and health education are explained in ways so that the patient and family can fully understand.
Honesty
Honesty is being able to tell someone what I really think and believe and getting the same thing in return. A person can maintain being honest by not thinking about the consequences of telling the truth. This can be evaluated by making sure the record is set straight when an error is made.
Knowledge
Being knowledgeable will come with comprehension gained through experience and studying in the nursing field. Maintaining knowledge is basically impossible – there is always something more to learn and experience. The quote “You learn something new every day” holds true in this aspect. The foundation for quality care depends on recognition and utilization of knowledge about nursing actions that promote patient safety and positive outcomes. Evaluating knowledge can be as simple as testing a nurse to see if he or she knows how to properly do something.
Least Important Values
Wealth
Wealth, power, and recognition are my 3 least important values. I don’t believe that making a lot of profits or gains will truly make me happy and satisfied. There’s more to life
