Philosophy of Nursing
While this is your personal philosophy of nursing, you must include and reference a nursing theory (Chapter 9) that resonates with your personal philosophy.
Reflect on what is important to you as an individual and as a nursing student. Think about what you believe and what you value. Develop a paper that includes the following:
Personal Values (3 points): Identify 3-5 values and beliefs that are important to you personally.
Professional Values (3 points): Identify the values and beliefs that you feel are important in nursing and why you feel they are important.
Alignment of Values (3 points): Describe where your personal values/beliefs align with the values/beliefs in nursing.
Nursing Theory (5 points): Identify a nursing theory that resonates with your personal belief system
Conclusion (3 points): Based on your personal and professional beliefs/values, explain how you hope to make a difference in the lives of others as a registered professional nurse at home, where you hope to work, and in your community.
