Philosophy Statement

“Remember: Nurses are like iceberg. At any one time, you are only seeing what they are actually doing” – Ian Miller

Nurses are an integral part of the health care system. Their dedication to providing excellent quality care often needs to be noticed, and they are undervalued in the media. Each nurse possesses an unseen power – the power to apply their knowledge to bring healing, growth or improvement, stability, and wellness to the patients under care. Caring for the many aspects of the spirit, such as emotional, physical, or mental, requires dedication and meticulous work, as well as the completion of a continuous or endless checklist. Nurses do the invisible- the constant work that goes unseen and unnoticed by society. Within this invisibility, nurses retain the power to touch the lives of each patient and, subsequently, many more.

The profession of nursing is a calling to provide compassionate, patient-centred care that promotes healing and wellness. A practice that will remain guided by empathy, respect, diligence, and a commitment to ethical integrity. I value the importance of holistic care, addressing not just physical health but also each patient’s emotional, mental, and social needs. As a nurse, I am dedicated to lifelong learning, collaboration with colleagues, and empowering patients to take an active role in their health journey. As a nurse, I am a leader. As a leader, I will promote many aspects of healthy living through holistic care, including proper nutrition, functional exercise, fulfilling spiritual practices, and social or environmental connection. As a nurse, I am empowered; in this power, I will advocate for my patients’ rights, consent, and quality of care. With this power, I will uphold the belief that each of my patients can achieve wellness despite clinical conditions. Through reflection and resilience, I strive to grow personally and professionally, always maintaining my dedication to excellence in care.
