Philosophy of Nursing: My personal nursing philosophy is deeply rooted in an undeniable desire to help and serve others, reinforced by examples of strong nurses in my life. Nursing is more than a career it is a lifestyle choice. It is my belief as nurses strive to model positive healthy behaviors in their own lives that they are better prepared to provide the highest care to patients. My Mission: My mission is to provide high quality, compassionate patient care regardless of gender, race, religious beliefs, lifestyle choices, or financial status. Every patient is of value. I will bring joy and hope into the life of my patients and their families. I will strive to preserve personal autonomy to empower patients to become active participants in their own care and advocate for their wishes. I will devote myself to my patients and maintain patient confidentiality. I will foster relationships with patients to promote health and wellness. My Vision: I will evolve professionally through evidence-based practice and technological advances. I will commit to continual learning through textbooks, journals, interactions with other health care providers, and experiences. I will use what I learn to accomplish my mission.My Values: My personal values and beliefs are honestly, integrity, compassion, respect, teamwork, persistence, lifelong learning.
