My Philosophy of Nursing I am a forty-one year old wife and mother of one twelve year old daughter. I have been a nurse for eighteen years‚ thirteen of which have been in Oncology.

1. What is it that helped you to know that nursing was your calling – your gift? How do you see your work? Recently‚ I wrote a short statement for the Sigma Theta Tau induction referring to nursing as a vocation.

know that nursing is all about the compassion you show to patients. In order to be a good nurse‚ one has to understand both the physical and emotional needs of their patients. A good nurse allows their ethics to guide their nursing. My vision of nursing will not only encompass the care I give to patients‚ but also the care I provide for the community in which I live.

Nursing is a major in which you have a huge window of opportunities open to you after graduation. It is a reliable major to go into because of its high job security‚ great salary‚ and reliable health insurance.
