Beliefs

My nursing beliefs are based on empathy and the way I care for others. Helping patients cope with their illness or condition well staying respectful to the patients wishes is very important in my beliefs. Creating a holistic approach such as caring for patients physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing is essential when caring for people in need. Also, having excellent communication skills is critical in understanding the patients needs in each individual situation. As a nursing student I want to always strive to do better and continue to build my knowledge and find the best ways to utilize that knowledge to help each individual. Having honesty and making ethical decisions is important when providing quality care. I believe that patient centred care is a key element to providing improved health care, allowing for patients to help in their care delivery and decision making. Treating all patients equally and with respect regardless of their race, life style, or condition. I believe nursing is a calling-based on a foundation of compassion, knowledge, and commitment to service. Trying to advance health, prevent diseases, and offer comfort during times of need.
