Personal Philosophy of Nursing When I first started nursing school‚ I thought of it just as a job. A job easy to find‚ pays bills and good reputation in the society. I used to define nursing as taking care of sick people and giving them medicines. When I actually started working‚ I realized pretty quick that nursing isn’t the same as I thought it was. As a mother nurses her baby to provide the nutrient he needs‚ comfort on her lap and the security the baby feels‚ nursing to me is similar. My personal

Author Note Admissions Essay: Philosophy of Nursing I am profoundly excited and engaged by the current revolutions occurring in the health care field. Having studied the history of this unfoldment‚ I find it both fulfilling and challenging that the time has finally come for nursing to take on and claim more responsibility in the field. For so long nurses have played a vital role in the care of patients‚ but have been devalued by the political dynamics of health care. I observe that changing

My Philosophy Nursing is a career not just a job‚ nursing is treating people as a disease‚ but as a unique individual who has his/her own values‚ beliefs‚ needs‚ and also treat the family with respect‚ compassion‚ patience‚ and show that we care. I chose nursing because I have always liked helping people. Ever since I was a little girl I liked helping and I would tell my dad that if he was ever sick I would take care of him so he could get better. At first I wanted to be a doctor‚ a pediatrician

Nursing is simply not just a career‚ but it is a calling. People think of nursing as a profession‚ work‚ and job‚ which it is. Being a nurse is a calling and a privilege. There is always that shyness aspect of proclaiming this aloud‚ just like other nurses in the profession. Nursing is not a calling through an audible voice. It is‚ however‚ a feeling from within that continuously pushes‚ drives‚ thrusts and urges someone inwardly to become a nurse. This process involves a steady and gradual drawing

My 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. I have certainly ventured a long way from my imaginary hospital‚ but I must admit that nursing

As a nursing student‚ I learned to shave patients in preparation for surgery; as a public health nurse‚ I taught mothers to clean their infants’ umbilical cords with alcohol and showed patients newly diagnosed with diabetes how to wipe the skin with alcohol before injecting insulin. Since then‚ high-quality research has shown that pre-operative shaving increases rather than decreases post-operative infections (Kjonniksen et al. 2002)‚ that cleaning umbilical cords with sterile water shortens the

Personal Philosophy of Nursing Nursing is a profession that I aspired to be a part of because nurses represent the very core of love‚ compassion‚ and caring. When I began working as a Supervisor in a Skilled Nursing Facility‚ I then developed my personal philosophy and set of values regarding nursing care. “Philosophy is defined as the study of the principles underlying conduct‚ thought‚ and the nature of the universe. A simple explanation of philosophy is that it entails a search for meaning in
