My Values

My values are vital in my nursing care. They shape how I connect with my patients, advocate for their needs, and deliver care that is compassionate, equitable, and holistic. I’ve prioritized my values and chose to discuss the following four.  My top four values include Advocacy for our vulnerable population, therapeutic rapport, equitable and equal care for all as well as holistic healing. With these four I ensure that patients feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. These values not only guide my professional practice but also align with nursing’s core principles of empathy, integrity, and continuous improvement, allowing me to make a meaningful impact in every life I touch.

Advocacy for Vulnerable Populations Advocacy would be my front runner. I am very passionate, and I believe this allows me to aid others in standing up for the rights and needs as vulnerable populations, ensuring their voices are heard, and their care needs are met. I want to be involved in addressing social determinants of health, removing barriers to access, and protecting the dignity of those who may be marginalized or undeserved.

Therapeutic rapport is crucial in nursing because it builds trust, which is the foundation of effective patient care. When patients feel understood and supported, they are more likely to communicate openly, follow care plans, and engage in their own healing. This connection fosters emotional safety and helps nurses address not only physical health but also the psychological and social aspects of care. Ultimately, strong therapeutic rapport enhances patient outcomes, satisfaction, and overall quality of care.

Equitable and Equal Care for All
Providing equitable and equal care means ensuring every patient receives the resources and attention they need, regardless of their background or circumstances. I recognize the unique challenges faced by individuals and seek to eliminate disparities in healthcare access and outcomes. I want to make a difference I want change.

Holistic Care In my nursing practice holistic care means addressing the interconnected needs of the mind, body, and soul. It involves treating patients as a whole, considering not just their physical symptoms but also their emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being to promote comprehensive healing and wellness. This value made it here as I am personally aware that there are so many facets to a human being and not all of them present physically.

Equitable and equal care remains at the heart of my practice, as I strive to eliminate disparities and ensure all patients have access to the resources and support they need. Above all, I am a steadfast advocate for vulnerable populations, standing up for those whose voices may not always be heard and championing their dignity and rights. Together, these values shape my nursing philosophy, allowing me to make a meaningful impact on the lives of my patients and contribute to a more just and compassionate healthcare system
