Collaboration:
Collaboration is an extremely important value to me. Being able to communicate, work together in a positive way is extremely beneficial to each person. It’s incredibly important to me to be able to collaborate in a positive way, allowing all sides to be heard. This ties into my nursing story, as when I started my clinics and go into practise i need to be able to collaborate with my coworkers and superiors to allow the best care possible
Compassion:
Being compassionate is something I always try to give other people in my daily life. Everyone is going through something whether that is big or small and showing them the respect and compassion that can improve their day significantly. This is the same for my nursing practice, every patient is unique and will have their own struggles showing the compassion, grace and kindness that every single person deserves.
Social Justice:
As a white woman, I can recognize that I have privilege, it is important for me to recognize this as many people in this world are discriminating based on what they can’t control. It is important in my nursing profession that I provide the exact same care for every single patient that I come across. Making sure that patients will be heard and seen no matter their race, sex and gender identification.
Professionalism:
Professionalism is important in any workplace, school etc, that you maintain a level of professionalism in those environments. Qualities of professionalism, is respect, accountability and integrity, maintaining these values are significant in the workplace and especially as a nurse. Having respect for your coworkers, accountability for your actions and your patients. Integrity makes sure you are honest because lying could greatly affect your patients and everyone around you.
