Running head: MY PHILOSOPHY OF NURSING

My Philosophy of Nursing
Amber Porter
Old Dominion University

MY PHILOSPHY OF NURSING
I.

My Personal Philosophy
A.

Nurse
1.

The purpose of nursing is to provide a holistic style of caring that

encompasses science, medicine, compassion, love, and caring.


B.

Person
1.

Nurses jump into many different roles that allow them to provide holistic

care.

C.

Environment
1.

Nurses exhibit many different roles that allow them to provide care in a

variety of environments including: hospitals, rehabilitation centers, in the


community, and in the home.
D.

Health

MY PHILOSPHY OF NURSING
1.

Health is the balance social emotion, psychological, physical aspects of

life. It there is an interference with one, it effects the whole. This is related to the
nurses purpose because nurses strive to help patients reach their ultimate health
whether it is a mental or physical illness.
E.

Nursing Theorist
1.

Similar to Peplau, nurses have many roles that aide them in their practice

and help assimilate into many different situations. Peplau stated that a nurse can
be a teacher, a resource, a counselor, a leader, a technical expert, and a surrogate.
This is related to my nursing philosophy, because I believe nurses adapt to their
surroundings to provide the best care.
a)

I chose to compare Peplau to my philosophy of nursing because I

believe that adequate care is provided when the nurse communicates and
listens to the patient to promote their well being and the patient can
depend on the nurse to be their advocate (Powers, 2012).
II.

Professional Outlook Evidenced in Art


A.

Goal for nursing Practice


1.

My goal for my own nursing practice is to use my compassion for caring

for others as my guide so that I will eventually be able to pursue a Doctorate of


Nursing Practice.
B.

Challenges
1.

As health care becomes more affordable, there is an increase need for

nurses. This could lead to the nurses now, not having enough time to properly
invest their time in a patient hindering their roles.

Art Choice
1.

I choose to do a video for my philosophy assignment, because the best

way to exhibit the traits a nurse has is through seeing it in person.


a. While making the video, I was able to step into the shoes of a nurse to
see how I can influence different patients lives by entering into
different roles whether it be to show compassion, to teach a patient, or
to assist with daily activities.
