Philosophy of Nursing Education For as long as I can remember‚ I have always wanted to be a nurse. As an 8-year-old‚ I practiced nursing in a makeshift hospital tucked safely away under the back porch of my tiny‚ row home. I cared for squirming kittens in my "nursery"‚ sleeping dolls being whisked to surgery‚ and a line of "injured" young friends from my neighborhood in my bustling emergency room.
