Personal Philosophy of Nursing Leadership
Nursing is a complex field, sometimes described as an art, while others a science. Those in this field approach their patients and coworkers with varied backgrounds that become the foundation for their beliefs and priorities in nursing. Some pull from technical backgrounds and aim to be proficient in every skill that may impact a patient.
