Personal Nursing Philosophy
Personal Nursing Philosophy
A nurse’s philosophy is the underlying meaning that brings to life our desire to be nurses. This is what we hold to be true about the nature of the profession and what brings most of us each day to school or to our practices. It encompasses our ethical principles and values. Its purpose is to better help us serve our patients and community.

In conclusion, I will make every effort to convey these philosophies as I continue my journey in the field of nursing. Many people have asked me why I chose nursing as a profession. Honestly, the more I learn about it the more it scares me, and it should. Nursing is not going to be easy, and I will be faced with many difficult challenges, but I have discovered my passion for helping others and working in a team. I believe that nursing is more than just a job, it is a privilege taken upon by those who are passionate about using their knowledge and skills to help those who are unable to help
