Beliefs and Values
Belief Statement: By incorporating my core values into my actions I believe that I will continue to improve, grow, and learn for my patients to ensure I uphold the code of conduct and practice standards to deliver the best care fitted to my patients.
Resilience: Personally resilience has become a recurring value I find myself focusing more attention on, especially since starting nursing school, it has taught me to stick with my decision even when I am struggling or feel like giving up. I feel that this is an integral value to be a nurse as you never know what to expect and will eventually face challenges if not on the regular. Again resilience is an essential element within the discipline of nursing. This value is deeply integrated into both nursing and the experience of nursing school. Resilience is a value that you must have when pursuing this profession and when practicing nursing because it is filled with its own individual and specific challenges that require this value to continue .
Growth: Growth has played a significant role in my personal journey and has begun to assist me on my journey through nursing school, as it allows me to self reflect and continue to try and improve at every opportunity I receive. Growth is another important value and involves continuously improving and growing. This is important in certain aspects of nursing specifically with both patient-nurse interactions and relationships. This can also blend into nurse-nurse relationships and can contribute to both professional and personal wellbeing. Growth pertains to holistic care as well because it encourages improvement in the care delivered and how to consistently take spiritual, emotional, mental and physical health into consideration when caring for patients.
Authenticity: I lead every action in my life with this value motivating me, authenticity is vital to the relationships formed between nurses and patients, as it creates a relationship based on truth and honesty which creates a good foundation for a favourable relationship between the two. Authenticity correlates with honesty and fidelity when in the workplace when it comes to situations like harmful incidents, near misses, and no harm incidents which depend on the nurses accountability and authenticity to ensure patient safety.
Acceptance: Acceptance is another one of my values because I believe it is a core value that a nurse should possess in order to have a great relationship with their patients.This is because you care for patients regardless of their backgrounds or own biases. Acceptance can also contribute to the nurse patient relationship by working as a stepping stone for creating a strong relationship.Thus affecting the level of care you are able to deliver and will contribute positively to the holistic care the nurse can provide.
