As, a nurse, compassion is critical in my view to be effective in the field of nursing. Compassion encompasses empathy, kindness, consideration and understanding which will be felt by an individual as one provides care. It requires the delivery of quality care with utmost respect and patience for all individuals irrespective of who they are. The compassion is shown through a nurse- patient relationship which respects the autonomy of patients as individuals who have dignity and worth. In my professional relationships, I practice with compassion and without restrictions toward each individual regardless of diversity, socioeconomic condition, ethnicity, disease process and other contextual variables.
