Belief Statement

I believe all people deserve compassionate and empowering healthcare experiences, regardless of socio-economic conditions, considering identified social determinants of health (Astle et al., 2024  p.7). I believe that the conditions in which we live, work, and play impact our health and must be considered when connecting with patients,  assessing and creating care plans. This resolve guides my education, and my future practice to be informed by systems and interactionist theories (Astle et al., 2024 p.80). Through compassion, empowerment, and theory-informed practice, I believe I will enter the nursing profession well-equipped and aligned to fulfill my goals.
