Philosophyofnursing

My philosophy of nursing is influenced by my worldview. My worldview has a strong Christian upbringing, but I cannot rule out the knowledge given to me by science. I believe my worldview helps me to treat my patients more holistically while keeping an open mind and respecting my patient’s worldviews. I will continue to advance my educational opportunities to provide my patients with the most up-to-date quality care that is available to them. I strive to be the kind of caregiver who can engage patients and empower them to be self-advocates. I look forward to welcoming my patients and partnering with them for health care and resources. I believe nursing is a privilege and we should cherish our ability to use our knowledge and skills to help those in need.
