HIGHLIGHTS
- Nursing theories are a compendium of nursing philosophy but particularly align with Virginia Henderson's theory of "Assisting Independence" and plan to make it a cornerstone of future nursing practice. The theory emphasizes the importance of patient health and independence, suggesting an individual's basic needs are crucial to overall well-being. Patients may require assistance to achieve health and independence or to transition peacefully.
- Henderson's theory resonates deeply with most nursing professionals, underscoring the importance of promoting health and fostering patient independence. She emphasizes an individual's basic needs are fundamental to overall well-being and may require support to achieve a state of health or to transition peacefully through life's challenges. Embracing philosophy, I aspire to make it the cornerstone of future nursing practice, guiding interactions and interventions as I strive to empower patients on journeys toward health and independence. Graduated from a nursing program (associate in science) degree, but worked as unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) in a healthcare facility- Lakeland Regional Health.
