My philosophy of nursing: Putting it into practice
When reflecting upon how my philosophy of nursing has been influenced by this Capstone course, my immediate response is that it is the first time that I really have had the opportunity to construct a true philosophy of nursing. Before, I tended to react to events without putting them in a larger context, and approached medical issues in a largely technical manner. Now, I am more inclined to think about how my decisions will interact with a patient's social, psychological, and environmental conditions. My philosophy of nursing is contingent upon the idea that the nurse must treat the whole patient in a spirit of caritas, and take into consideration the 'big picture.' A patient's personal definitions of health and well-being may be different from the nurse's, depending upon the nurse's personal cultural context. The patient's environment will impact the ability of the patient to follow the nurse's orders upon release. A patient is not a problem to be fixed. Nursing is a dialogue, not a monologue, with the patient.
As I enter the workforce, the first critical component of putting into practice my philosophy of nursing will be taking the time to listen to the patient. Although this can be difficult, given how nurses are pressed for time, it is vital to ensure that a correct diagnosis and treatment is made. I will also do the best I can to understand the patient's home situation, level of medical literacy, and competence. I will ask questions that go beyond the obvious. I view my role as a nurse partially as a teacher, but I also see myself as a student of each and every patient I treat. Every prescription for health is unique because no human being is the same. No patient can be reduced to his or her condition and a patient is more than a page in a medical textbook.

Nursing management is a vital part of an effective healthcare system. It is a partner in professional satisfaction for nurses and a partner in achieving good health for individuals and societies alike (Oulton, 2006). Being a nurse manager is a very tough job that requires a strong commitment and drive for success. It is important for some one who is thinking about embarking on a nurse manager career to get
She was almost radical in her approach to healthcare and healing. By radical, I mean that she was the type of individual who aimed to solve matters by getting to the root of the problem. She was more interested in solving the problem and not the symptoms of an underlying issue. She used a systems thinking methodology that made her overall approach to healthcare a faith-based philosophy. Although she used
Internationally, for example, most countries do not have protected titles and there is no agreement about the use of titles to distinguish APN roles. Role confusion arises when the same title, such a nurse specialist is applied to different roles with varied purposes, educational preparation, and scopes of practice. As this role becomes more integrated into the framework of different societies and is better defined, it is expected that
Nursing Theory Caring as an integral nursing concept can be viewed from diverse perspectives. It can be an attribute, a complex set of behaviors, or an attitude. This has made some people believe that it is impossible to improve and measure it although there is evidence that both improvement and measurement are possible. People recognize that caring models of professional practice affect the service users, health outcomes, healthcare staff, and ultimately
Nursing Theory "Discuss several aspects of professional communication as it relates to the use of language in terms of form (e.g., clarity, accuracy) and content (culture and/or ethics)." (Question, 2014, p1). Communication is the reciprocal process where messages are received and sent between two or more individuals. Communication involves exchange of ideas, or opinion, which could be in form oral or written form. On the other hand, communication involves a series of
