Personal nursing philosophy
Personal definition of nursing
Being a training nurse who has a vision for the less privileged families both locally and across the world, I have a perspective of nursing that is more focused on the poor society rather than an individual. I look forward to once in my lifetime work with the poor of the African countries or the very poor Asian countries and this urge is what shapes my nursing philosophy. My philosophy is that Nursing is a key to not only the physical health of the individual, but the social and to a greater extent the financial wellness of the patient at the long run. I believe that in order for a person to profess to have nursed an individual, it is not just about that headache going away, or the perpetual ulcers getting healed for that moment, or even the infectious skin disease disappearing upon administration of the give medicine, but the equipping the individual with the knowledge of how to avoid getting ulcers in the future and also the investment chances that they can exploit to help them get at least decent meals that will see them through the healing process.

I also feel that nurses should maintain impartiality through the build up of procedures, supervising benefits and the sustenance of source distribution to guarantee the fulfillment of the client requests (Cooper, 1991). Confidentiality also believe that a nurse should be able to handle situations where the data of a client conflicts with the greater good that could be achieved with the publication of that particular info and when it is
Critics of holistic nursing have occasionally insinuated that holism is somehow incompatible with evidence-based practice such as that which underlies the Magnet standards. That is truly unfortunate. Holistic concerns in nursing are more than merely "compatible" with an evidence-based perspective; in fact, the holistic emphasis is an expansion of available treatment modalities that has been demonstrated empirically to bolster clinical success rather than competing with it or contradicting it (Stetler,
For Watson, treating a patient as a nurse was not just about giving out medication, it was about caring for a patient.

Nursing Philosophy Concept Synthesis on Personal Nursing Philosophy Nursing Autobiography My interest in nursing peaked at an early age when I attended Clara Barton High School for health professions in Brooklyn NY and graduated in 1991.
