Personal Philosophy
Abstract
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, nor can you contemplate an environment without encompassing the person. Likewise, health cannot exclude the influence of the environment. These factors build upon the concept of nursing and elaborate on what nursing really is.

Philosophy of Nursing
My name is Quyen Thi Napiontek, and I am 24 years old. I have a husband and beautiful 2-year-old daughter. I was born in Biloxi, Mississippi, and I have spent most of my life here. I have an innate curiosity about people and science, and I like to combine that curiosity with assisting others. I feel a nursing career would provide the perfect platform to do this. I aim to make a difference in the lives of others while at the same time pushing myself intellectually. I am currently practicing nursing as a student at The University of Southern Mississippi located in Long Beach, Mississippi. Once I receive my bachelor’s degree in nursing, I plan to continue my education and pursue a Masters of Nursing. I love the notion of becoming a traveling nurse after I receive my degrees. The idea that I can live and work in a new city every few months agrees with my perpetual curiosity and willingness to
