Philosophy

As a registered practical nurse and student nurse in BScN program, I consider that nursing is about caring for the whole person. This means looking at each patient, nurses considering not only their physical health but also their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Because every patient is different, my nursing practice is evidence-based, which involves continually learning the latest skills, improving my competencies, and using critical thinking when providing care to patients. In addition, I view nursing as an art and a science. In other words, nursing consists of skill/knowledge as well as compassion.

I am dedicated to advocating for patients and marking sure they feel respected and have the freedom to make decisions as they want. I believe in the importance of ongoing learning for nurses so we can ensure that patients receive the most accurate information and the right care.
