    Philosophy of Nursing

    Nursing is not solely about wanting to care for others; it requires much
    more than that. As the most trusted profession in the world, nursing requires
    a level of passion, desire, and NEED to serve others who are incapable of
    caring for themselves or their illness. My personal philosophy of nursing
    involves feelings that are difficult to describe, yet they seem like second
    nature. Nursing is a profession that is utterly raw and at the forefront of
    caring for another human when they are at an extremely low and vulnerable
    phase in their life. Being a nurse demands compassion and responsibility,
    and when fully embraced, is the most humbling title one can wear.
    I personally believe that the most important philosophy of patient care
    stems from the nurses responsibility of acting as the patients advocate. If a
    nurse takes this core approach to the patients care, all other responsibilities
    and actions will fall into place to compliment that role. Whether the nurse is
    caring for a new mother that just gave birth to her first child, or he/she is
    caring for a mechanically ventilated, comatose patient who does not have a
    promising chance of waking up, being the patients advocate is the most
    important role to that patient at that time. In conjunction with the
    responsibility of patient advocacy, a non-judgmental approach to patient
    care is of most importance.
    Nursing is not a profession that allows for picking and choosing of the
    patient that walks into, or is rushed in through, the doors. Nursing is a
    universal and widespread profession that has a purpose to target the health

    of all race, ethnicities, genders, diseases, and other demographic


    characteristics at any given time. A non-judgmental attitude is imperative
    when caring for patients, regardless of language, culture, or opinionated
    barriers in beliefs and values. I strongly believe that the philosophy of
    nursing highly involves the ability to care for a patient regardless of that they
    look like. The important concept of non-judgmental nursing care is related to
    the requirement stating that a nurse cannot treat, categorize, or judge a
    patient based upon their diagnosis or disease. Although it may be easy for a
    nurse to impose judgment on a patient, it is disrespectful and unacceptable
    when caring for a vulnerable and ultimately helpless population.
    My philosophy of nursing may seem straight-to-the-point and blatantly
    expected from all of those who choose to enter this profession, although
    many patients feel judged and close themselves off from their healthcare
    team. In order to advance in the nursing profession with these topics in
    mind, it is necessary for each nurse to reflect on their purpose for entering a
    stressful, time-constraining, and chaotic field.
    As a soon-t-be graduate from the University of Arizona College of
    Nursing, I will uphold my duties as a new nurse entering the workforce, and I
    will abide by my personal philosophy of nursing. I believe that my passion,
    desire and motivation will carry me through my journey in nursing and it will
    be involuntarily demonstrated in the care for my patients.
