My Values
Compassion is an important value for me because it builds trust within relationships. Compassion is an internal valve I have learned over the years to allow myself to feel for others and spread kindness. It allows me to take a daily optimistic approach while collaborating with certain individuals. Showing compassion becomes essential when seeing the brighter side of a situation. It becomes important for a nursing student to show compassion towards patients to build trust. Patients can often be vulnerable and scared under difficult circumstances. Showing compassion can lead to a quicker recovery process and allow the patient to have a positive mindset.
Demonstrating respect is important to me because it helps build stronger relationships. If there is respect within a difficult conversation or subject it can help encourage open communication. This can be essential to finding the best possible solution. Respect is a value I learned from my family members by encouraging healthy relationships that support and care for each other. I believe it is important for nurses to demonstrate respect with colleagues and other patients to form healthy connections.
Understanding the emotions of others and showing empathy is an essential value that I demonstrate when approaching others. It is important for me to approach individuals with kindness and understand certain emotions during difficult situations. I feel that empathy is an internal value I developed over the years by seeing how myself and others were treated in certain situations and how I want to care for others emotions during difficult situations. It is important for nurses to show empathy to further connect with patients and understand their diverse situations.
Collaboration. Being able to work with others is an important value for me because I feel that everybody has different strengths and weaknesses. We can all benefit from each other’s strengths to make ourselves better and stronger. I feel we can benefit ourselves by learning from others and working as a team to excel further. Collaboration is a value I developed during school when working with others. I quickly realized the importance of sharing knowledge to form and create better scenarios. I feel it is important for nurses to be able to collaborate with each other to aid and better patient care.
