2. Nursing Philosophy & Beliefs
To me, a career as a nurse means to be able to provide holistic care that is able to recognize the uniqueness of each patient. To treat the mind, body, and soul as one (Astle et al., 2024). My nursing philosophy centers on delivering holistic, patient-centered care that honors each individual’s uniqueness. I believe nursing extends beyond addressing physical ailments to encompass emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being. Compassion, integrity, and empathy will be foundational to my practice, fostering trust and empowering patients to make informed decisions about their health.
As a patient advocate, I am dedicated to ensuring dignity, respect, and a strong voice for every individual under my care. I value lifelong learning and professional growth, staying informed on evidence-based practices to continually enhance my skills. My goal is to create a meaningful impact by delivering exceptional care in an environment of trust, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Personal experiences, professional growth, and the dynamic nature of healthcare shape my nursing beliefs. Key values such as compassion, patient advocacy, holistic care, autonomy, integrity, professionalism, lifelong learning, and teamwork guide my practice. These principles form the foundation for ethical, high-quality, and patient-centered care that prioritizes the well-being of those I serve.
