My Nursing PhilosophyMy assumptions about nursing The core of nursing is: Care The focus of nursing is: Health maintenance & improvement My beliefs about persons, health, & environment are: Persons: Includes individuals, families, and communities. Each individual is autonomous but relies on others. Health: Is subjective and defined by each person. Environment: Internal and external environment. Each plays an important role. My beliefs about the outcomes of nursing: The goal is to meet the needs of each client to the best of my ability. My beliefs about how to facilitate health: To facilitate health, education is the foundation. From there access to care is essential. How will I live out my philosophy in practice: The most important thing is to not forget nursing is about helping the client achieve their goals. From there it is my responsibility to use all available resources to reach my client reach their goal. |
